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

In GreedFall II, you play a native from a small lakeside village on Teer Fradee, an island permeated with its own special kind of magic, and with unknown creatures dwelling in the wild. Mev, the high priestess of Teer Fradee, sends you on a mission to perform an initiation ritual to become a Doneigad, a sage entrusted with protecting your people and its lands. This is a crucial task, since for several years your island has suffered increasing colonisation by foreign powers indifferent to their devastating impact on the natural environment.

To protect your people and succeed in your mission, you have a range of choices according to the situations you encounter, since your decisions will affect how your adventure unfolds. Hence your choices in the dialogues will directly influence your relationships with the other characters, and your reputation with the other factions.  Furthermore, the talents that you opt to develop, such as Survival, Diplomacy or Stealth, affect how you can experience certain events.

However you will sometimes need to use force, and confrontations are an integral part of your adventure. This new trailer introduces some of the game’s combat system mechanics, which are designed to provide a greater strategic dimension, especially thanks to the option of controlling your companions, and a tactical pause system enabling you to keep perfect control of any situation.

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.

NACON and Spiders studio are pleased to announce that GreedFall II: The Dying World is receiving the biggest Steam Early Access content update to date. New improvements and features, new content, all fans of this unique world will find something to enjoy!

After visiting Olima, nicknamed the City of Stars in reference to the gigantic observatory that overlooks it, players now have the opportunity to discover a new city and its surroundings: Peren. Former capital of the Astrian civilisation, the city is now ruled by the Merchant Congregation. Strongly impacted by the Malichor epidemic, the mysterious plague ravaging the continent of Gacane, Peren is also the scene of numerous political intrigues: be careful not to get caught up in the nobles’ dark schemes...  

Prepare to welcome an ally as formidable as he is unexpected: Till. He is responsible for your capture, forcing you to embark on your journey across the Old Continent and changing the course of your destiny. Having abandoned his position as captain of the Coin Guard, a mercenary guild renowned for its outstanding warriors, he now seeks redemption by offering you his help. Quiet and somewhat gruff, Till is nonetheless a seasoned fighter. Equipped with heavy armour and wielding a two-handed sword, he excels at drawing the attention of enemies to defend his companions. Loyal and protective, Till is the last member to join your band of companions, and will prove to be a valuable asset to any team in need of a strong defender.

The combat system in GreedFall 2 has been reworked to better suit your play style, with three distinct modes that can be selected at any time. For strategists, Tactical mode offers total control over the battlefield and the camera, allowing you to optimally micro-manage your companions' actions and making greater use of the tactical pause system. Conversely, Focused mode allows you to focus on your character and stay in heat of the action, letting the AI constantly manage your allies and limiting the use of the tactical pause. Finally, Hybrid mode offers a balanced experience, providing partial control over the camera and tactical pause.

In addition, three difficulty modes, adjustable from the game options, allow you to experience the adventure at your own pace. Fans of challenging strategic combat can opt for Tactical mode, while those who prefer focusing on the storytelling will choose Story mode, which greatly facilitates combat. Finally, Adventure mode offers players a balanced level of difficulty.

Furthermore, this update includes numerous improvements and new features:

• New side quests and events have been added to enrich your adventure.
• Improved crafting: new crafting skills give you more options and control to manage and enhance your gear more efficiently.
• Refined character creation system: the avatar customisation tool has been extensively redesigned, allowing you to modify many facial and body features to create a unique character.
• Addition of a Photo Mode: highly requested by the community, this feature allows you to capture memorable moments and breathtaking landscapes from your adventure
• Optimisation, visual improvements and Quality of Life: enjoy a smoother and more detailed experience thanks to numerous fixes and various graphical, performance and Quality of Life improvements.

In addition, ready-to-use save files allow the most impatient players to try out the new content directly, without having to restart their adventure.

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.
