GreedFall II: The Dying World Launches This Summer in Early Access
Today, during the NACON Connect 2024 event, French developer Spiders announced that GreedFall II: The Dying World will be released in early access this Summer on Steam.
A few developers from the studio appeared to discuss the RPG sequel. The main theme of GreedFall II: The Dying World will be discovery, as Spiders wanted to put a much greater focus on exploration.

Gacane is a dying world, as mentioned in the title, due to the spreading Malichor plague. It's also being ravaged by constant fights between nations.
