NACON, together with Ishtar Games – the team behind Dead In Bermuda, Dead In Vinland, The Last Spell, and Lakeburg Legacies – is returning to its acclaimed survival strategy series with Dead In Antares. This brand-new intergalactic chapter lands on Steam on February 19, 2026, with a demo available now for early explorers.
Watch the Announcement Trailer
Set in deep space, Dead In Antares follows humanity’s final attempt to survive. Ten elite specialists are sent across the galaxy to find new resources and save Earth from destruction. As with previous entries in the series, things go wrong quickly – the mission collapses, the ship crashes on an unknown world in the Antares System, and the crew is forced to fight for every inch of survival.
The Next Evolution of the Dead In Formula
Dead In Antares expands on the franchise’s signature blend of survival, management, narrative choices, and tactical decision-making. Every crew member comes with their own personality, background, skill trees, strengths, flaws, and secrets, forming a dynamic team that must be kept alive both physically and psychologically.
Players will juggle numerous interconnected systems, including:
- Food supplies
- Water reserves
- Fatigue and injuries
- Mood and morale
- Combat readiness
Every decision matters, and every mistake can spiral out of control. Choices made throughout the campaign influence relationships, success, future options, and ultimately lead toward one of several possible endings.
A Hostile Alien World Awaits
Survival won’t just be about managing numbers and meters – Dead In Antares also features tactical turn-based battles and exploration across a dangerous alien planet filled with mysteries, hostile wildlife, and long-lost secrets.
The game features a full RPG progression system, letting players customise character builds with traits, skills, proficiencies, and more.
Demo Available Now
While the full release arrives on February 19, 2026, players can already jump in and test their luck by downloading the demo on Steam and adding the game to their wishlist.
