Summary
- GreedFall 2’s Update 0.2. was delayed a month ago.
- In a new blog post, the developer admits that it still doesn’t have a release date, but will reveal one when it can commit to it.

GreedFall 2: The Dying World developer Spiders has explained what’s going on with the next update, following on from its delay last month. The studio also reflects on the game since it went into early access in September, admitting that it’s been “challenging”, but “rewarding”.
In a blog post, the devs have reaffirm that Update 0.2. is still on the way, although there’s no release date for it. This comes a full month since its delay, with the devs saying they need the additional time to address fan feedback and make further improvements.
GreedFall Devs Give Us An Update On The Next Patch
Update 0.2. was delayed in November
“A lot has happened since the start of Early Access,” the blog post reads. “We are still as thrilled today as we were when we embarked on this new adventure, embracing a format that’s as new to us as it might be to you.
“While some aspects hit the mark and were widely appreciated, some didn’t, but we expected it. More importantly, we remain committed to building a great game alongside you and listening to your invaluable feedback every step of the way. While there’s much we’re excited to share, some news will have to wait for the right time.”
The post then goes on to say that Update 0.2. is still being worked on, and a release date will be revealed when the team is “certain” it can stick to it. When the update rolls out, it will aim to make improvements to the game’s combat, UI, character customisation, and further optimise the game.
The studio adds that “most of the changes” it wants to make to the game will come in future updates, so there’s still much that Update 0.2. won’t address. On top of that, the companion Alvida is being recast, so there may be some issues with her voice lines that aren’t addressed until then.
GreedFall 2 has mixed reviews on Steam right now. Many complaints centre around the new tactical combat, which Spiders admits needs “drastic improvements” to be made more fast-paced. However, it has ruled out a return to the combat in the first game.
The story starts three years before the events of the first chapter and the adventures of De Sardet.
This time you play as a native of Teer Fradee, snatched from your island and taken to the continent of Gacane, the homeland of the colonists. In this old world ravaged by war and scarred by the Malichor plague and the political scheming of the different factions, you need to regain your freedom and take back control of your own destiny. Using diplomacy, cunning or combat, as well as help from allies you find along the way, it’s up to you to end one man’s ambitions of conquest, which could spell the end for both the continent and your island.
Dive back into the unique world of GreedFall, this time exploring the old continent! Travel across new landscapes, from Olima – the city of stars of the Bridge Alliance – to the shores of Uxantis, and uncover the secrets of these ancient lands. Meet all the factions that share control over these nations and navigate the treacherous waters of their schemes and conspiracies.
Create your own character and find allies to join your team. Help them with their quests, uncover their secrets and make them your friends, rivals or even lovers. As well as equipping them the way you want, you can also take control of them in combat.
Immerse yourself in an ever deeper RPG experience where every choice you makes has an impact on your adventure, and where diplomacy, manipulation, infiltration and combat are all viable ways to achieve your ends.
