14 DAY TRIAL // One of the biggest successes for French publisher Spiders, GreedFall, a story-driven RPG that took fans of the genre by surprise, is getting the sequel it deserves. After selling more than 2 million units, publisher NACON and developer Spiders revealed the name of the next game in the series: GreedFall 2 – The Dying World.
Just like the original game, the sequel will be focusing on story and player choice. However, new gameplay will be implemented in the form of more tactical combat. Chronologically, GreedFall 2 starts three years after the first game and the adventures of De Sardet. This time around, players will step into the shoes of native Teer Fradee, uprooted by force from their island and taken to the continent of Gacane, where the colonists are from.
“While we were working on Steelrising, our love of the GreedFall universe never faded, and so we are thrilled to be returning to it. In this new chapter, players will explore the old continent with its bigger and more diverse environments. They will meet new companions and new factions, and I hope they will have unforgettable adventures,” said Jehanne Rousseau, Founder and Director of Spiders development studio.
In GreedFall 2, players must use diplomacy, cunning or combat, as well as help from allies they make, to regain their freedom and control over their destiny. In a world ravaged by war and a strange, deadly plague, political scheming of the different factions is something very common.
“We are very excited to reveal GreedFall 2 to everyone, the new game from Spiders. Many fans across the world were begging for this sequel, and we are delighted to be publishing this new game that these fans are sure to love. We also hope it will appeal to new players and all fans of role-playing games, great stories, action and fantasy,” said Alain Falc, CEO of NACON.
The bad news is we’ll have to wait a few years for the game to come out since Spiders is now working on Steelrising. GreedFall 2 is planned for release in 2024 on PC and consoles.
