Dead In Bermuda - New Release Announced with Expanded Crew, Relationship System, and Combat 2.0 Features

Date: February 12, 2026

DEAD IN BERMUDA, the acclaimed survival‑management title that blends RPG and adventure mechanics, is set for a major launch on Steam on February 19, 2026. Players will once again step into the shoes of crash‑landed survivors, this time guiding a full crew of ten characters through a treacherous island filled with mystery, resource management, and tactical combat.

Key Highlights

• Expanded Crew: The new release introduces a ten‑person team, widening the narrative beyond the four‑member family of the original Dead in Vinland.
• All‑Pair Relationship System: Every possible pairing can develop unique bonds-friendship, rivalry, romance-that grant experience points and special work‑bonus bonuses.
• Energy as Core Resource: Energy replaces fire as the primary camp resource. It refills each night and must be generated during the day to power the workshop, laboratory, radar, and temperature regulation.
• Revamped Exploration: Each day players may send up to three characters on expeditions. Only one character can interact with a discovered entity, while the number of locations expands as the game progresses.
• Combat 2.0: Improved animations, a character‑specific “Power Surge” ultimate ability, battle passives unlocked through leveling, and customizable combat skills via laboratory class upgrades.
• Supporter’s Pack DLC: Includes the game’s original soundtrack, a cosmetic battle skin for Amelia, and a pet‑able robot companion that occasionally drops resources.

New Gameplay Systems

• Deterministic Event Outcomes: Players can now see exactly what will happen to characters based on their choices, reducing reliance on RNG.
• More Forgiving Event System: Harsh random events have been toned down while preserving occasional high‑risk challenges.
• Power Surge Ultimate: Each character receives a unique, high‑impact ability for combat or utility.
• Battle Passives: Passive bonuses earned by leveling up characters, enhancing combat performance.
• Laboratory Class Upgrades: Unlock new combat skills, allowing deeper customization of each class.
• Knowledge Resource: Earned by identifying items and scanning with the radar; used for workshop recipes and class upgrades.

Quality‑of‑Life Improvements

• Full visibility of outcomes for camp actions and explorations.
• Softened extreme self‑harm scenarios (e.g., the previous “Eirik nearly killing himself while picking up wood” event).
• Enhanced combat animations and overall system stability as part of the Combat 2.0 overhaul.
