Summary
GreedFall 2: The Dying Worldis the upcoming sequel to Spiders' 2019 cult classic, and is slated for an early access launch on Jun 18, 2025. AsGreedFall 2is a single-player title, it might not make much sense to have an early access period, but Spiders hopes that it will present a great opportunity for true fans of the franchise to get involved in the game’s development.
Like any early access title,GreedFall 2will be in a much different state during its early access launch than it will at its full release. However, the specifics ofGreedFall 2’s early accessare what players will want to know about, and Spiders has graciously provided all the information they will need.
What to Expect From GreedFall 2 During Early Access
What Content Will Be Playable During GreedFall 2’s Early Access Period
WithGreedFall 2starting in an early access state, players might be curious about what content will be playable until the game’s full release. Spiders has already confirmed that, even in early access, 30% ofGreedFall 2’s full content will be playable, though not right away. At the start ofGreedFall 2’s early access period, players will be able to create their own character, experience the first chapters of the game’s main story, meet and recruit some of the game’s companions, and explorethe island of Teer Fradee, and the regions of Thynia and Uxantis.
As its early access progresses, more content will be added toGreedFall 2, including new regions, new companions, new local and main quests, new skills, and new customization options. Spiders has clarified that early access saves will be occasionally wiped as major updates are made toGreedFall 2to prevent any unnecessary issues from occurring during the game’s development, and while that might turn some players off, it makes sense and is probably for the best.
How GreedFall 2 Will Involve Players During Early Access
The primary reasonGreedFall 2is heading into early accessrather than going straight to a full release is because Spiders wants to involve players in the game’s development. In the developer’s words, “various aspects of the game will be new for us,” so including players in the development process will help Spiders discern which parts work and which don’t. As such, player feedback will be the lifeblood ofGreedFall 2’s development. Throughout early access, players will be able to share their thoughts and opinions with the development team through Steam, Discord, andGreedFall 2’s social media pages.
How Long GreedFall 2 Will Be in Early Access
SinceGreedFall 2is largely a community effort, Spiders is unable to provide anything concrete about how long the game will be in early access. Ultimately, Spiders aims to developGreedFall 2until both the developer and the players are satisfied with it. Generally, games should be expected to remain in early access for at least a full year. However,ifGreedFall 2goes the route ofBaldur’s Gate 3—which was in early access for three years — it could be even longer.
Since many fans have been awaiting the release ofGreedFall 2for years now, they may be disappointed to learn that the sequel might be in early access for quite a while. That being said,Baldur’s Gate 3was in early access for three years and ended up being one of the best role-playing games ever made. In light of that, early access may be a very good thing forGreedFall 2, especially with how Spiders aims to involve the fans in the game’s development. At the very least, players will eventually be able to experience30% of all thatGreedFall 2has to offerduring its early access period, which is a decent portion of such an anticipated game.
