Who doesn’t love a bit of Dumb Ways to Die?! With possibly the catchiest theme song ever and really entertaining ways to kill and be killed, the long-running franchise has just announced it’s latest entry – and yes, it’s exactly what the title says. Not only that, but there’s an exciting collaboration with another exceedingly well-loved game. Find out more as Dumb Ways to Party comes to consoles and PC in 2026.
The new game was revealed during yesterday’s Galaxies Gaming Showcase and has been developed and published by Playside Games. All of the classic characters are involved and this multiplayer party game promises to bring the chaos that the franchise is best known for. Per the team at Playside “Part skill, part comedy, all chaos! Our Bean contestants, blissfully unaware of the madness ahead of them, are thrown into precarious challenges, absurd environments and life-threateningly funny situations – will they win the Major Prize or will sabotage sink their chances? Whether it’s grabbing a buddy for the ultimate couch co-op experience, teaming up for multiplayer online with friends across the globe or rocking it out solo, there’s a way for everyone to jump in and party!“
Dream Team
As well as unveiling the title itself, Playside also announced a limited-time collaboration with Fortnite. Any players who purchase Dumb Ways to Die via the Epic Games Store will also receive the Dumb Ways to Die in-game bundle in Fortnite.
