The trailer also shows off Greedfall II’s new location, Gacane. As you struggle to gain passage back to your home and thwart the plans of the man who kidnapped you, you’ll be able to explore this new environment, from its thriving cities to its crumbling desert ruins. Different factions are striving for control of Gacane, and their influence has shaped different parts of this world – it’ll be up to you to determine who’s vision of the world you’d prefer to see play out.

Greedfall II: The Dying World is really not that far away – it’s set to release into PC-only early access via Steam on September 24, a little over five years after the original game. It’s also headed to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, but you’ll have to until its full release – currently scheduled for some time in 2025 – if you’re hoping to pick it up on console.
