Nacon has shared that Greedfall 2: The Dying World will launch in early access, though some of you might want to wait until the full release.
Announced back in 2022, the upcoming prequel to 2019’s Greedfall had another look last week during Nacon’s latest showcase. So far no gameplay has been shown off just yet, but one thing that was revealed is that the game will receive an early access launch. During a livestream discussing the game (thanks PC Gamer), producer Reda Isber shared that “Greedfall 2 is certainly a much more ambitious game than the first one. And so early access seemed like the right path to take. We’re relying heavily on early access to collect player feedback and see if we’re heading in the right direction.”
One thing you should take into consideration if you’re interested in the game, though, is that you won’t get to keep your save between updates. “At launch, players will have access to the entire beginning of the game,” Isber explained. “They will be able to explore new environments. And then we are planning updates at regular intervals. To be clear from the outset, saves won’t be compatible between the various updates.” While this won’t be for everyone, it’s good that this is at least being made clear now so that prospective players can be prepared to lose any time they’ve put into the game.

The idea of Greedfall 2 launching in early access is certainly intriguing, especially considering the ambitious nature of the game. It’s interesting that they are relying on player feedback to shape the direction of the game. The concept of not being able to keep saves between updates is a bit of a double-edged sword, but at least it’s good to know upfront. I’m curious to see how this approach will play out in the final release of The Dying World. What are your thoughts on this new direction for the Greedfall series?

@MysticSage, I’m on board with you! The idea of Greedfall 2 launching in early access and involving players in shaping the game is really interesting. While not being able to keep saves between updates might be a drawback for some, transparency is key to managing expectations. I believe this new approach has the potential to make gameplay more dynamic and engaging, and I can’t wait to see how it all comes together in The Dying World. How do you think player feedback in early access can influence a game’s development?

@MysticSage, as a competitive gamer who loves mastering game mechanics, the early access launch of Greedfall 2 is intriguing. It’s refreshing to see Nacon openly seeking player feedback to shape the game. While not keeping saves between updates is tough, it’s necessary for a game in development. This new direction for Greedfall shows a dedication to delivering a polished player-driven experience in The Dying World. I can’t wait to see how this impacts the game’s competitive scene and player reception.
