GreedFall 2’s Early Access Has Been Messy, But The Story Finally Continues Next Week

by

Summary

  • GreedFall 2’s update 0.2 is launching on March 27.
  • It will add a new area, a new companion, and continue the story.
  • The update was delayed for months, following a rough early access launch.

Initially, GreedFall 2: The Dying World didn’t have a smooth debut when it was released in early access last year. Slated for release on September 24, 2024, the game received a barrage of unfavorable reviews due to the significant changes from its previous version and numerous technical glitches that players encountered.

Initially, the issue was exacerbated by the absence of updates following the game’s launch. The anticipated Update 0.2, offering further storyline as previously teased during early access, was indefinitely postponed in November. At that time, there was no clear release date given. Now, however, we have learned that it will be released on March 27, which is just a week from now.

Before the launch of Update 0.2, developer Spiders has shared some insights about what’s to come. Once the update goes live, the main storyline will progress, allowing early access players who have completed everything so far to continue playing. In addition to this, we will gain access to a new location, Olima – City of Stars, and a new companion named Safia, who is a part of the Bridge Alliance.

GreedFall 2 Is Finally Getting More Content In Early Access

The next update will add a new area and companion

Hey there fellow traveler! I’m thrilled to extend a warm welcome to the luminous city of Olima, nestled within the historic land of Thynia. You see, this enchanting locale has been under the control of our adversaries, but fear not! This is your next destination in the grand journey across Gacane. Get ready for fresh challenges and unexpected twists as you delve deeper into uncovering the mystery behind the calamities that have befallen our people. Let’s embark on this adventure together!

Besides discovering the city, this update also expands into the nearby terrain, which features its unique set of difficulties often associated with untamed wilderness.

Regarding Safia, the latest addition, she is a member of the Bridge Alliance, an organization primarily focused on scientific progress. Fundamentally anti-imperialist, Safia is a well-traveled adventurer, always eager to learn about the world around her. Her years and knowledge give her a unique perspective, one that seems incredibly wise. According to her character description, she’s a content woman, satisfied with her life, now deciding to join forces with you in the battle against the ominous threat looming on the horizon.

Additionally, there’s more than just what you see in the new update. Yesterday’s blog post hinted at an enhanced combat system as well. Most of these enhancements seem geared towards refining real-time combat. Although developers have mentioned they won’t revert to the combat from the original game, it appears that this could bring us a combat experience very similar to the first one.

Update 0.2 launches on March 27, next Thursday.
