GreedFall II is an RPG that focuses on story and player choice but also includes new gameplay in the form of more tactical combat and revisits the unique universe created by its predecessor.

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

In Greedfall: The Dying World, 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 announced that GreedFall: The Dying World will launch on March 10, 2026 for PC (Steam) and on March 12, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The new gameplay video also details the game’s key features.

Forge your legend in a world in decline

The story of GreedFall: The Dying World begins three years before the events of the first game, at the dawn of the Malichor plague, a mysterious illness that is gradually corrupting the Old Continent of Gacane. This time, you play as a native of the island of Teer Fradee, recently discovered by the colonists of Gacane, destined to become a Doneigad: a guardian of knowledge and Nature. Your initiation is barely complete when your destiny is overturned as you are taken prisoner by soldiers who forcibly take you to the Old Continent.

Your quest to regain your freedom plunges you into the heart of a vast conspiracy: it's up to you to forge your destiny in the hope of saving not only your island but the entire continent.

It's dangerous to go alone…

During your journey, you get to meet new allies ready to join your cause: recruit up to eight companions, each with their own story, beliefs, and secrets. Their presence in your party allows you to obtain information, defuse tricky situations, or sometimes make them worse... It's up to you to develop your relationships with your companions, to make them brothers-in-arms, rivals, friends, or even soulmates!

Master the art of combat

While cunning or diplomacy can get you out of many situations, you can also resort to force to confront the many enemies on your path in intense combat sequences. Thanks to the tactical pause, you can coordinate your actions and those of your companions to exploit enemy weaknesses and unleash devastating skills. But if you wish to stay in the heat of the action, you can also focus on the character of your choice and let the rest of the group act on its own. Numerous options will allow you to adapt the combat style to your preferences!

Discover a fascinating world

Aboard your ship, the Constanzia, you will explore the vast continent of Gacane, a land divided by conflicts between factions. This is your opportunity to travel through majestic cities and lands with unique landscapes! Uncover their mysteries, discover their treasures, and face the many dangers they hold. Watch the world evolve according to your decisions: they will shape your reputation, your alliances, and they will decide the fate of your 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.
