Nacon and Spiders Studio have released the largest content update to date for GreedFall 2: The Dying World, now available in Steam Early Access. The new update expands the narrative RPG with a major region, a new companion, an overhauled combat system, and a suite of quality-of-life improvements that reshape the entire experience.
Explore Peren, the Ancient Astrian Capital
Following the city of Olima, players can now journey to Peren, a once-thriving capital of the long-fallen Astrian civilization. Now controlled by the Merchant Congregation, Peren is both battered by the Malichor plague and entangled in political power plays. Expect dangerous nobles, historic ruins, and new quests that pull players deeper into the mysteries consuming Gacane.
Meet Till, the Unexpected New Companion
Early Access players will now encounter Till, a familiar figure whose actions originally set the protagonist’s journey in motion. Formerly a captain of the Coin Guard, Till abandons his past and seeks redemption by joining your party. With heavy armor and a devastating two-handed sword, he serves as a tank-style defender capable of drawing enemy aggression and keeping the party alive. He also marks the final companion joining your crew in the Early Access story so far.
Reworked Combat Modes and New Difficulty Options
One of the update’s biggest additions is a fully revamped combat experience built around three customizable playstyles:
- Tactical Mode: Full battlefield control with detailed micromanagement and expanded tactical pause.
- Focused Mode: An action-heavy approach where AI manages your allies and keeps the pace fast.
- Hybrid Mode: A balanced mix of tactical decision-making and real-time combat.
Players can also tailor the challenge with Story, Adventure, or Tactical difficulty settings, each shaping encounters to match your preferred pace.
Additional Improvements and New Systems
The update also introduces a broad set of enhancements across the entire RPG, including:
- New side quests and world events
- Improved crafting and expanded gear-upgrading tools
- A redesigned character creator with deeper facial and body customization
- A new Photo Mode, a top community request
- Widespread performance, visual, and UI improvements
For players eager to dive directly into new content, Spiders has also included ready-made save files that skip early-game progression.
A Growing Journey Toward Full Release
Set three years before the original GreedFall, The Dying World casts players as a native of Teer Fradee forcibly taken to Gacane, a plague-torn continent divided by war, politics, and the deadly Malichor.
GreedFall 2: The Dying World is available now in Early Access on PC (Steam) and will fully launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2026.
