When is the Greedfall 2 release window?

The Greedfall 2 The Dying World Early Access release window is summer, 2024. At the time of writing, there is no fixed release date for the game. Since the game is launching into Early Access, this means it won’t be the complete version. More updates will be added until the game is ready to launch properly, but Early Access lets us all play while it is still being developed. The developers have been fairly tight-lipped about it, but we can expect to see something very soon, especially with a recent trailer shown during Nacon Connect and various previews for the game going live. For what it’s worth, we were more than impressed in our preview of the game.

Greedfall 2 The Dying World gameplay details

Greedfall 2 is chronologically a prequel to the first game. Taking place three years before the events of Greedfall, you’ll play as a native to of Teer Fradee, who is essentially taken from their island and sold into slavery. In this old world of Gacane, you will see the remnants of war, the Malichor plague, and the political machinations of various factions vying for power. As the main character, you need to regain your freedom and unite your friends against a common enemy.

As with the first Greedfall, you can use diplomacy, cunning, or your melee prowess to overcome each obstacle you encounter. Combat takes place in real-time, but it is changed slightly from the first game. This hybrid real-time combat puts you in more direct control of actions between you and your party members. As ever, you will create your own character and there is a big emphasis on freedom when it comes to how you want to play. Companions will play a big role again in Greedfall 2, where you can help, hinder, or romance them.

Greedfall 2: The Dying World will launch into Early Access on Steam in the summer 2024. It will be initially available on PC, with a view for it to come to consoles later.
