GreedFall is back with an unexpected 2024 sequel

GreedFall was a 2019 RPG release that flew under the radar for many people, but became enough of a cult classic to sell two million copies. The game found success due to its classic western RPG staples like dialogue trees, romanceable companions, and a complex, long-running narrative. GreedFall put the player in the role of De Sardet, a customizable protagonist who could be either male or female and who was on a quest to a new land called Teer Fradee. On Wednesday, publisher Nacon announced that a sequel is on the way for 2024 called GreedFall 2: The Dying World.

GreedFall 2 is set to focus on story and player choice, similar to the first installment, and has the player take the role of a native inhabitant of Teer Fradee. While in the first game, we played as a colonizer, this time we’ll play as an indigenous protagonist who has been brought to the continent of Gacane, which is ravaged by war, plague, and political conflict. You must help the colonizer to regain your freedom. This can be done through diplomacy or stealth.

Developer Spiders will be taking over the project. “In this new chapter, players will explore the old continent with its bigger and more diverse environments. In Wednesday’s announcement, Jehanne Rousseau, director and studio founder of the Studio, said that players will be able to meet new friends and factions. She also stated that she hopes they have memorable adventures.

It’s still a while yet before we’ll get to see more of a concrete look at GreedFall 2, but it’ll be interesting to see how the success of the first game influences the second iteration, which had both compelling elements and a myriad of small technical errors. This time, we may be getting a more polished and experienced take on the formula.
