GreedFall 2 | Post Nacon Connect Spiders Live
Some important highlights:
- We play as a native person of Tír Fradí, kidnapped and forcibly taken to the mainland continent of Gacane
- There will be new factions introduced, as well as places we didn't learn about in the first game
- We get party control!! Not turn-based combat, but we get more tactical control over our character and three companions. This was implemented from listening to player feedback from the first game
- The world itself will be bigger, and both exploration and narrative are at the forefront of the experience
- Early Access is happening! It is really important to the development team so they can gain feedback on how they're doing with a lot of big, new changes
- Early Access will ONLY be available on Steam, though the full game will launch on consoles
- There will be several phases of EA. The initial EA launch phase will allow access to the entire beginning of the game
- Around 1/4 of the game may be available upon EA release
- There will be updates at regular intervals, but save files WILL NOT be compatible between updates
- This is their current roadmap of EA release
- Character, skill set and talents will still be customisable!!
- More small quests for each region will be implemented to add depth of gameplay and aid in telling the main story
- The dev team REALLY wants valuable and constructive feedback for both story and gameplay elements while they are still in EA
- Crafting systems will be included again, but not in EA
- The team thinks of the game not as a sequel or prequel but as a new story set within the same world
- There will be some (few) characters that we know from the first GreedFall, and perhaps some little clues and easter eggs to other characters we know
- A camera mode may (hopefully!) be available in the full game
- There is no final release date as of now (March, 2024)
- Price at EA will be lower than full release price, but publishers do not have a set price yet
- There will be more companion options AND romance options! 😍
- There will be further announcements about gameplay coming as EA gets closer
- Finally, making a second GreedFall game was easier for the team because of the communication they had with the community! Spiders Games and the devs really love the GreedFall world, and they appreciate how much we love it too ❤️
