Dead in Vinland Gets a Switch Port on July 11

CCCP and Dear Villagers will be bringing their survival-management RPG Dead in Vinland to the Switch on July 11th.

The game released on Steam and GOG last year, and has received multiple DLC packs. The Switch version, called the True Viking Edition, will include all DLC packs and has a completely reworked interface to best make use of the console’s features and controls. You can watch a trailer for the Switch version above.

Dead in Vinland: True Viking Edition is now available for preorder for $27.99. The Steam version is also 50% off as part of the Summer Sale.


Here’s a rundown of the game:


DEAD IN VINLAND is a survival/management game, mixed with RPG and adventure elements, about a Viking family trying their best to survive on a mysterious island.

Key Features:

  • Deep survival management sim: To survive the harsh lands of Vinland players will have to carefully balance the wants and needs of their growing community with the constant struggle for resources and safety. Dead in Vinland offers a satisfyingly deep survival management experience with tasks including gathering building materials, securing a supply of food, taking care of the mental and physical health of characters, fighting diseases and wounds, rationing water supplies and enduring the rough and merciless seasons.
  • Challenging strategic battles: Keeping the community safe means facing nerve-wracking turn-based battles in epic encounters. Players will be able to take on the challenge in their own way, forming their perfect team with a mix of offence, defence and support chosen from over 600 character traits.
  • Build your base and manage your community: The island community will grow to groups of up to 14 playable characters, each with their own strengths, flaws and stories. The only way to survive is to expand the shelter with a choice of more than 130 upgrades.
  • Shape the tale of the heroes: Dead in Vinland offers a vast storyline with over 70 non-linear quests, each choice will decide the fate of the community. Relationships evolve with meaningful dialogue choices, giving the player the chance to get to know the heroes as they experience joy, desperation and even romance.
