GreedFall 2: The Dying World Hands-on Preview – Swapping Places with Dragon Age
A couple of years ago, French developer Spiders announced GreedFall 2: The Dying World, the sequel to its solid 2019 roleplaying game. Back then, the studio was aiming for a 2024 launch window.

Players will encounter some of the factions from the first game, as well as a few new ones that weren't part of the Bridge Alliance expedition to Teer Fradee.
This is the first Spiders game to launch in early access. The studio provided several reasons for this choice, starting with the need to gather feedback from its fairly large community (the first game sold over
