Community Update #8 | Update 0.2 Beta Testing

Dear carants,

In our last community update, we announced a change of plan for the game's next update following your feedback and the issue with Alvida’s actress. Since then, we've made good progress on the first major update and, to make sure we're on the right track and in line with your expectations, we asked a small group of players from our community to take part in a closed Beta Testing. The goal was for them to give us their feedback and report on the progress of the improvements and changes made.

So far, the feedback we've received from this group of players has been encouraging, even if there are still some aspects we need to work on. All the comments made, both positive and negative, will help us add the finishing touches for update 0.2 so that it can be rolled out to everyone next.

Game Rant checked out GreedFall 2:

What to Expect from GreedFall 2 in 2025

GreedFall was a surprise hit as an age of sail fantasy RPG that confronted the dark truths of colonialism back in 2019. GreedFall 2: The Dying World follows the action away from the original’s setting on the island of Teer Fradee and back to the continent from which the colonial powers hail. GreedFall 2 entered Early Access in September 2024, and it has seemingly adopted a slow but steady approach to the ongoing development.

While it’s out in Early Access now, surprisingly little is known about where Spiders’ unique fantasy setting is going in 2025. However, based on the past few months and what's to come for the game, it is possible to have a few key, managed expectations.

GreedFall 2’s Approach to Early Access
Spiders rang in 2025 with a tweet promising to share next steps and the future of the GreedFall 2 Early Access, but fans are still lacking perspective. In its year-end retrospective, Spiders acknowledged the shaky beginnings of the Early Access, but its dedication to move forward according to a path that has been very successful for other recent titles. Spiders’ Early Access on PC is a familiar strategy employed by many games, including Larian and Baldur’s Gate 3: share a slowly developing Early Access with the players in order to hone the game with the feedback of players.

Eurogamer checked out update 0.2 of Greedfall 2:

Greedfall 2's improvements will come "gradually" with Update 0.2 "only the first step"

"We wish we could provide a release date, but we would rather wait until we're certain."

Greedfall 2 developer Spiders is taking the end of the year as an opportunity to "reflect on our journey so far" and said it is "committed to building a great game alongside [the community] and listening to your invaluable feedback".

In an update posted to Steam, Spiders said "a lot has happened since the start of Early Access", but the team is "thrilled" about progress to date, despite it being a challenging experience that has seen Update 0.2 delayed with still no firm release date.

"[The decision to delay Update 0.2] allows us to focus on implementing significant improvements and fixes based on your feedback," the team said. "These include the combat system - which is as important to you as it is to us - the UI, character customisation, optimisation, and many other aspects."

Couchpotato spotted Community Update #7 for GreedFall 2:

Community Update #7 | End of the year and onwards

Dear carants,

As the year draws to a close, we wanted to take a moment to talk to you about GreedFall 2 and reflect on our journey so far.

A lot has happened since the start of Early Access. We are still as thrilled today as we were when we embarked on this new adventure, embracing a format that’s as new to us as it might be to you - Early Access.

It’s been a challenging but rewarding experience. While some aspects hit the mark and were widely appreciated, some didn’t, but we expected it. More importantly, we remain committed to building a great game alongside you and listening to your invaluable feedback every step of the way. While there’s much we’re excited to share, some news will have to wait for the right time.

As mentioned in our last Community Update, we have decided to delay the release of Update 0.2.
This decision allows us to focus on implementing significant improvements and fixes based on your feedback. These include the combat system—which is as important to you as it is to us - the UI, character customization, optimization, and many other aspects.

Most of the changes we want to implement will take place gradually. As they need substantial work, Update 0.2 will only be the first step towards this end goal. We’re looking forward to sharing these improvements with you when they’re ready.

We also encountered an issue with recording Alvida’s lines during development. Sadly, for reasons out of our control, the original voice actress couldn’t record anymore, and we needed time to assess and find a solution. We recently met a new voice actress with whom we’ll start recording Alvida’s lines again. It also means we’ll have to record all her previous lines to ensure the voice doesn’t change in the middle of the game. So, you can expect a change of cast for the next update and onwards for Alvida.

We wish we could provide a release date, but we would rather wait until we’re certain. What we can promise is that our priority remains delivering a game that meets your expectations and takes your feedback into account.

Ensuring your voices shape this journey has always been the goal of Early Access.

Thank you for your continued support. We wish you a wonderful end to the year and look forward to seeing you in 2025 - a year we’re confident will be fantastic for GreedFall 2.

Happy gaming!

(PS. Here’s a small preview of one of the many things the team has been working on that you’ll be able to meet it in the land of Thynia…)

Farflame spotted Community Update #6 for GreedFall 2:

Community Update #6 | News on Update 0.2

Dear carants,

Since the beginning of the Early Access, the team has been working on the next update and today, we bring some news about it.

Update Content

We mentioned in our previous Community Update that we were actively working on the new content for the next update. It will bring numerous additions such as:

• New region – The story will take you to Olima, the City of Stars.
• New companion – You’ll meet a new ally and unlock new skill trees.
• The Hub – A place where to rest, gather your companions and prepare your adventure.
• New quests – With the continuation of the story, new regional quests and the first companion quests.
• And more…

The other topics we mentioned also progressed since the last Community Update. We plan to release part of it for the Update 0.2 to present an improved system for:

• Faster, smoother and more reactive combat experience;
• Cleaner animations in and out of combat;
• And more…

Please note however that most of the changes we want to implement will take place gradually. As they necessitate substantial work, the Update 0.2 will only be the first step towards this end goal.

We know we’ll need to keep building upon them to make the game’s experience better for everyone.

As the Early Access continues and we keep up our working on implementing these deeper changes, you can expect even more improvements to the game, especially with the combat and the exploration.

Of course, meanwhile, we will also keep a close eye on your feedback to ensure that we are going in the right direction.

GreedFall 2: The Dying World Early Access Hands-on - “Look How They Massacred My Boy”

GreedFall 2 doesn't look like a sequel to the quite successful first game but rather like something completely new from a different team.

I remember the first GreedFall from 2019 perfectly. I didn't expect much, but instead I got a quite addictive game that took a lot of inspiration from The Witcher 3 and some Bioware games. After the quite successful Technomancer, the developers from Spiders studio created an even better action RPG with beautiful locations, great boss designs and a satisfying combat system. Sure, you could feel that it was a bit of a budget title, lacking in quality compared to the leading games, but this didn't affect its overall reception.

So it seemed that after such an uphill march, the second GreedFall could only be better. But the truth was quite surprising. GreedFall 2: The Dying World doesn't feel like a sequel, but rather a completely new game, made by a new team that focused on completely different mechanics. Moreover, only a very small portion of the game has been made available in early access so far, which does not help the overall reception. On the contrary – the poorly outlined plot and the terrible combat system are topped off by the poor technical condition of GreedFall 2. It's clear that this time the developers have changed their inspirations from The Witcher 3 to Dragon Age and Baldur's Gate 3 - and they might have slipped up a bit on this.

Community Update #4 | News on Hotfix 0.1.1 & what we’ve been up to

Dear carants,

The team has been hard at work and we bring some news regarding what we’ve been up to for the last weeks.

Hotfix 0.1.1

We will deploy a small patch next week. This patch will bring numerous fixes and some improvements to the game based on your comments, such as:

• Fixing the issues of inactive companions or main character in Autonomous Party
• Fixing some animation issues like the jittering hair
• Improving the interaction button so you won’t have to hold it anymore to interact with NPC
• Improving targeting of creatures during combat
• Adding localization
• And more…

We will communicate the full changelog when it’s live.

Optimization

We noted your feedback regarding the game encountering frame drops or not running well in some instances. We prepared a guide to help you while we investigate the matter and continue to work on the game’s optimization.

We also suggest you contact our Support Team so our agents can take care of your request and troubleshoot the issue with you. Make sure to provide as many details as possible, such as your dxdiag and your game’s settings. The more details you provide, the faster the agent will be able to help.

What else?

But that’s not all the team has been up to. We’ve also been working on the next big update which should bring improvements to the game and additional content, such as:

• A new region
• The first companion quests
• New skill trees
• The hub, a new feature which will help you navigate the world

But we’ll reveal more in due time…

And aside from the next update on the Road Map, the team has also been working on other projects based on what is the most demanded by the community.

Combat

While we do not intend to revert to the old system from GF1, we know the current system needs drastic improvements to make it fun for everyone. The key elements the team is currently working on thanks to your feedback are:

• Faster pacing with more responsive actions and animations
• Better accessibility with improved onboarding and options
• Better controls to macro and micromanage your party
• And more…

Though the next hotfix will only fix some bugs for now, you can expect deep changes to the system in the future. As those changes will take more time to analyse and implement, we’ll share all the concrete details when it’s ready, so stay tuned!

UI/UX

The UI in the game is still a work in progress and as the Early Access unfolds, we will build upon it updates after updates. What you can expect in the future:

• Global UI improvements
• New UI for Reputation Standing
• And more…

As the team advances on those important subjects, we will reveal more about them.

In the meantime, we will keep reading your comments which have been helpful for the team. The game still being in development, we know there’s a long road ahead of us and we are very excited to continue improving the game’s experience as we carry on this Early Access with you.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us, and until then, happy gaming!

What To Expect From GreedFall 2: The Dying World Early Access

GreedFall 2: The Dying World has officially entered Early Access, and with it, players will get to dive into a familiar world as a Teer Fradeen native, where there are also foreigners living on your land, which is causing trouble for a lot of the natives. In this game, you have to try and figure out why the world is dying while completing quests, partaking in combat, and romancing companions that you find along the way. Now that the game is in Early Access, only some of these features are available or are not available in its completed form. Here is everything you can expect from GreedFall 2: The Dying World's Early Access period.

What To Expect From GreedFall 2 Early Access
While plenty of games offer up an experience that has most of the gameplay available from the outset, GreedFall 2 is still in very early stages and there are only a couple of areas that players are able to explore from the outset. All of this information is listed on the Steam page, with the developers also listed what players can expect to be released over the Early Access period.

Wccftech checked out the Early Access version of GreedfFall 2:

GreedFall 2: The Dying World Preview – A Dated Feel

Admittedly, GreedFall II: The Dying World was my first experience with the franchise, and it really wasn't a good one. Even though the game is in Early Access, I don't think it's even ready for that. Within the first 30 minutes of the game, I was immediately aware of how janky this game was and how dated it felt despite being developed and released for a modern audience. Admittedly, after seeing the main menu, I was hopeful and thought that the game had a lot of potential, as it's very aesthetically pleasing. However, my feelings were in the wrong place.

I got into the opening cutscene, which then took me into character creation, and I was hugely disappointed. The character creation was severely lacking- with the only options that 'mattered' to change being the hair. The several face presets that were available didn't offer much variation, and most of them had no 'attractive' qualities. There was only one face preset that I found remotely tolerable with the wild, untamed curls I used. It has been confirmed that face sliders will be added in the future, which is at least an upcoming benefit to making pretty characters in the game. Overall, the character creation is severely lacking, and the physics of the hair reminded me of that from The Sims 3. It had a chunky choppiness to it and didn't really provide much realism.

The Koalition checked out the Early Access version of GreedFall 2:

GreedFall 2: The Dying World Is Still Not Ready - Early Access Review

GreedFall 2: The Dying World is an RPG by the developer Spiders and published by Nacon. It is a prequel to the events that occurred 3 years before the original game of GreedFall. As a big fan of GreedFall, I was dying to jump at the chance to get early access to the new game. It is with a heavy heart that I must say at this time, I’m worried about GreedFall 2. I was able to jump into the early access that’s just released on Steam and I have to say that it is a mere travesty at this time. Now please bear in mind that Spiders claims that there’s only around 30% of the game being brought to us at this time, so that is a good thing. But at this exact stage, I find this prequel to be a lot less enjoyable than its predecessor.

The bugs for me were very overwhelming, from me running into walls which caused me to die. However, due to his death, I was still able to get a loot drop. About six minutes later I wandered past some enemy corpses, so no damn clue how they died as I was the only one playing in the area. However, for me to die to a wall but kill a mob yards away from me and get their loot, I am Overpowered!

Farflame spotted community update #3 for GreedFall 2:

Community Update #3 | Combat, Character Customisation & Future Patch

Dear carants,

GreedFall 2’s Early Access released on Tuesday, and this week has been exciting for us. We are grateful for everyone who participated in making the release such a great moment and for everyone who took the time to share their experience with us.

We read all your feedback and questions, so we wanted to take the time to go over them with you and tell you what our team is currently working on for the next patch, as well as give you a rundown on two important subjects: combat and character customization.

Fixes & Improvements

With your feedback, we noted some bugs that we aim to fix soon with a small patch that should also include improvements such as: increasing certain drop rate, decreasing the DOF (depth of field) during dialogue scenes to make it less blurry, making the feedback of targeting an ally’s portrait more visible, and adjusting the AI behaviour so that you do not have to spend too much time micromanaging your companions when you do not want to - making your experience in combat easier.

We will publish the full changelog when it is live.

Combat System

The combat in GF2 is an aspect of Early Access that we are particularly interested in. With the introduction of the new tactical pause system, your feedback is and will be crucial for us to ensure that the new system is fun for everyone.

With that being said, we are aware that some elements are still a work in progress and need improvement, and that some bugs can hinder your experience for the moment. We noted your feedback on that subject, and we aim to improve it in future updates throughout Early Access.

Currently, the team is working on two major future improvements.

Auto Attacks
We noted that the pacing of the combat could feel a bit stiff. When auto-attacking, in between actions, the character goes back to its idle position before attacking. We plan to go over it and change it to make the combat pacing smoother and more reactive.

Picking
We noted that, in some instances, selecting a target could be difficult when it is moving or attacking. We plan to go over and fix it, so that selecting a target with a skill is more flexible regardless of it being in the middle of an animation or not.

Those two improvements are not the only things we will implement and change in the future, but we hope they will greatly help for a smoother experience in combat.

Of course, we will keep you informed when we plan to implement those changes, and we will keep monitoring your feedback to ensure that the combat system’s evolution meets your expectations as best as possible.

Customisation & Character Creation

Character Creation is another element of the game which is still in development. Throughout Early Access, we plan to add new options and new ways for you to create and customize the character you want.

You can expect some changes already in the next patches, with additional colours and hairstyles for the Character Creation.

However, in the long run, the system will have an integral revamp with new additions and new options that will let you create your character more freely, such as:
Face Editor: An editor for Character Creation that will let you alter the different areas of your face without having it being preset.
Transmog: The ability to change the appearance of your gear without altering the stats.
Of course, we will keep you informed and continue monitoring your feedback on that subject too.

Until then, do not hesitate to join the discussion and keep sharing your feedback with us.

Happy gaming!

TSA checked out GreedFall 2:

Greedfall II: The Dying World is a prequel that takes too many backward steps

The original Greedfall was a cult hit when it launched back in 2019, so fans were excited to find out a second game was being released into Early Access this year. A few eyebrows were raised at The Dying World being a prequel, but early announcements sold the idea of discovering how the island of Teer Fradee and its inhabitants dealt with the influx of colonial exploration. This wider aspect of depicting the impact of colonialism was probably the most interesting part of the first game so I was keen to explore this more. After a few somewhat frustrating hours with the game’s Early Access build, I was left questioning not the story being told so much as the changes made to the game’s mechanics.

The very beginning of The Dying World offers an attempt at transition from the previous game. You choose your character from a very limited creation process (and no option for baldness – at least not deliberately) and have a pretty exposition heavy conversation with a friendly member of the Alliance. You are soon interrupted and told to visit the village leaders to find out more about your destiny as a Sage and the initiation ritual you must undergo to fulfil this role. The first few hours play out as a tutorial that encompasses the initiation tasks and involve you exploring the island and  learning the basics of combat and investigation.

GreedFall 2 is more than just a eurojank Dragon Age: Origins, and it's ticking a lot of my RPG boxes

Time to mess up some colonisers.

Spiders is one of those RPG studios that I can't help but appreciate even as I consistently bounce off its games. From the odd-couple orc and goblin shenanigans of 2012's Of Orcs and Men to its more recent steampunk French Revolution soulslike Steel Rising, it's got a penchant for trying new things and taking big swings. But it's only now, with GreedFall 2, that I'm really starting to vibe with what it's trying to do. 

I should note that I've only played a wee bit of the original GreedFall, which GreedFall 2 is set a few years before, swapping perspectives from a coloniser exploring a fantasy realm to a kidnapping victim indigenous to it, who's been brought to the old world against their will. Familiarity with the setting might be helpful, and the prequel does share some of its predecessor's traits, but as per usual Spiders is not content to just do the same thing again.

GreedFall 2 | Early Access Road Map

Hello Carants,

As GreedFall 2’s Early Access draws nearer, we have news for you in the form of the Early Access Road Map.

[...]

At launch, you will have access to the beginning of the story and its main quest. Once you have created your character, you will be able to navigate through three regions, discover their different zones, learn about their secrets and meet new allies.

We released news about the companions if you want to learn more about them right now. We plan to reveal more in time as we will introduce new companions to the game in the Autumn and Winter updates too.

But that is not all that is waiting for you during Early Access, because we also plan to continuously update the game to balance it and add new content depending on your feedback.

You can join us on our social platforms, and we are eager for the adventure to finally start. More information will be revealed in the coming days… Stay tuned and see you 

Couchpotato spotted the GreedFall 2 companions:

GreedFall 2 | Meet the companions

Companions are an integral part of GreedFall 2 and your journey. They’ll follow you across countless cities and regions, and your choices will shape their stories and determine if they distrust you, become friends, or even lovers.

Let’s meet some of them now!

Nilan

Childhood friend to Vriden gerr, Nilan is a young native who has a deep connection to both nature and the land. Coupled with a strong desire to protect his people, he’s somewhat stubborn and awkward.

Fausta

Originating from a noble family in Thélème, Fausta plays a character and switches personalities depending on her audience. Well-versed in diplomacy, she’s discreet and is reserved and solitary in her personal life.

Sybille

Born into the de Vespe household, she was introduced to the art of politics and family conspiracies when young. Though distrustful at first, once her trust has been gained, she’s willing to make any sacrifice for her loved ones.

Alvida

A talented Naut, Alvida has little tolerance for authority, but nevertheless follows Naut traditions which she inherited from her mother. Defiant, strong, and driven, she follows her ideals with a will of steel.

Ludwig

A former soldier, Ludwig is a man who doesn’t believe in heroes and refuses to be portrayed as one. He’s sarcastic, detests feigned politeness, and is aggressive towards those he deems responsible for the suffering of the poor.

We hope you enjoyed this brief preview into the characters and that you’re excited to meet them on the 24th. That said, this isn’t the end of it – Who knows who else might join you in your travels during Early Access?

PCGamesN checked out GreedFall 2:

Greedfall 2 is a beautiful fantasy RPG reminiscent of BioWare’s heyday

I sat down for a hands-on playtest of upcoming tactical RPG Greedfall 2 at Gamescom 2024 and was immediately reminded of old-school BioWare.

Playing Baldur’s Gate 3 was a nice reminder of how much I enjoy tactical RPGs. While the turn-based format is always welcome, however, I still have a craving for that particular brand of real-time action where you can pause at any time to direct each member of your party. So with the Greedfall 2 launch imminent, I sat down at Gamescom 2024 to try out a section of the early game, and it instantly took me back 15 years to Dragon Age: Origins, where BioWare emphatically reminded us just how fun that classic style of CRPG can be.

Hands-on: Greedfall II: The Dying World – Gamescom 2024

After playing Greedfall II: The Dying World during my time at Gamescom, it quickly became clear that this sequel is carving its own path, balancing the familiar with a deeper, more traditional RPG experience. Is it an RPG game worth looking forward to? Let’s jump in some skill trees!

A world to explore

As an RPG, exploration is a crucial part of the game, the demo took me to a small fisher’s settlement as part of a big city. With vast landscapes and a huge city lurking behind the corner, this seems like an interesting world to explore. Since it’s a demo, I didn’t really have a lot of time to discover the world but it looks like it will be a pretty solid and pretty big world. Navigation happens through a mini-map although I must say that it wasn’t always that clear to know where I needed to go. That being said, I do look forward to see more of this world.

Time to make some decissions

Besides exploration, narrative is big part of the game too. Greedfall II doubles down on player choice, with branching dialogue options and decisions that might have consequences, although I didn’t see this during my time with the game. Your decisions will impact not only your character’s fate but also the world around you, with alliances, and broken friendships. The weight of these choices adds a layer of depth that makes each conversation feel like a negotiation and even small puzzle to solve in order to have the best possible outcome.

RPG Site explains why the Greedfall 2 has similarities to Dragon Age: Origins:

GreedFall II: The Dying World takes cues from Dragon Age: Origins - Preview

The original GreedFall was something of a surprise when it released back in 2019. It may not have had the same outward production values as a BioWare RPG, but many people saw the resemblance in its structure, narrative, combat, and character writing.

In an era where BioWare was floundering, GreedFall seemed to offer something that many fans were missing from Western RPGs of the time, and the game went on to be a great success for publisher Focus Home Interactive. It only made sense that the development team at Spiders would create a follow-up to GreedFall, although perhaps not in the way people expected.

GreedFall II: The Dying World takes place chronologically before GreedFall, although Spiders hesitates to call it a prequel, instead opting for "another story in the same world". Additionally, the game is going the Early Access route, which is a new development strategy for the studio. It also makes some significant changes to the gameplay stylings, using a more tactical design rather than more action RPG like its predecessor. With so many new wrinkles in play, I was eager to go hands-on with an early build of GreedFall II: The Dying World ahead of its Early Access release later this year.

If the original GreedFall was often compared to Mass Effect, then GreedFall II more directly takes inspiration from Dragon Age: Origins. That's not just me making a blanket comparison based solely on observation, Spiders CEO Jehanne Rousseau told me that explicitly during my hour-long demo with the game.

The story starts three years before the events of the first game and the adventures of De Sardet.

This time you play as a native of Teer Fradee, uprooted by force from your island and taken to the continent of Gacane, where the colonists are from. In this old world ravaged by war and scarred by the Malichor plague and the political scheming of the different factions, you need to regain your freedom and control of your own destiny. Using diplomacy, cunning or combat, as well as help from allies you make, it's up to you to end one man's ambitions of conquest, which could spell the end for the continent and your island.

Experience the unique world of GreedFall again by exploring the old continent! Travel across new landscapes, from Olima – the city of stars of the Bridge Alliance – to the shores of Uxantis, and uncover the secrets of these ancient lands. Meet all the factions that share control over these nations and navigate the treacherous waters of their schemes and conspiracies.

Create your own character and find allies to join your team. Help them with their quests, uncover their secrets and make them your friends, rivals or even lovers. As well as equipping them the way you want, you can also take control of them in combat.

Immerse yourself in an ever deeper RPG experience where every choice has an impact on your adventure and where diplomacy, manipulation, infiltration and combat are all viable paths for you to achieve your aims.
