By taking into consideration the feedback from fans as well as what is likely a bigger budget this time around, Spiders is takingthe world ofGreedFallto greater heights in its sequel, with a host of features being both added and improved.
GreedFall 2’s publisher, Nacon, is holding its annual “Nacon Connect” showcase on February 29, and it has been confirmed thatGreedFall 2will be making an appearance. It’s impossible to know for certain what Nacon Connect will reveal aboutGreedFall 2, but there are several possibilities based on the publisher’s past Nacon Connect events and what fans have been requesting be featured in the sequel.
What to Expect From GreedFall 2 During Nacon Connect on February 29
Fans Should Expect to See Gameplay Footage for GreedFall 2
As is tradition during a Nacon Connect event, many of the publisher’s biggest games are often given around three minutes to showcase new footage, which typically includes a brief overview of each game’s story and gameplay. As such, fans should expect to see new gameplay and story footage from Spiders’GreedFall 2during February 29’s Nacon Connect, and this brings with it several expectations. The full extent of what will be shown won’t be revealed until the showcase itself, but it’s possible to speculate when consideringwhat fans have been requesting to see inGreedFall 2, as well as what Spiders has already disclosed about its work on the sequel.
Spiders has already been open in a 2022 interview aboutGreedFall 2’s renewed emphasis on combat, so it’s likely to be a significant part of the showcase. Specifically, the developer has been hard at work incorporatingStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic’s “real-time-with-pause” mechanics intoGreedFall 2, which will ultimately allow for a more strategic approach to battles. While the firstGreedFallallowed players to pause the game during combat and choose their next moves, players were unable to select actions for their companions. Now, Spiders has assured fans that players will be able to have more control overGreedFall 2’s companionsduring combat.
Fans Should Expect to See GreedFall 2’s New Companions
One of the most anticipated features ofGreedFall 2is its companions, asGreedFall’s romanceable companionswere one of its greatest aspects. This means fans will likely seeGreedFall 2’s new characters to some degree during the February 29 showcase. It’s highly unlikely that too much of each new character will be revealed during Nacon Connect, as that would start to venture into spoiler territory. However, Nacon and Spiders would be remiss not to at least introduce the faces — and possibly brief background overviews — of each new companion.
Fans Should Expect to See More of GreedFall 2’s Open World
Another aspect ofGreedFall 2likely to be showcased during Nacon Connect is its open world.GreedFall’s open world was undoubtedly beautiful and effective in its portrayal of a divided society, but many fans still walked away from the game wanting more from its environments and the open-world experience as a whole. Spiders has most likely taken note of this, which means fans could see more of whatGreedFall 2’s open world has to offer on February 29. Furthermore, asGreedFall’s open world played so much into its story, showing more of the sequel could simultaneously revealGreedFall 2story detailsin addition to what has already been divulged.
This is all purely speculation at this point, but fans should still expect to see at least a few minutes ofGreedFall 2during February 29’s Nacon Connect. AsGreedFall 2is one of 2024’s most anticipated games from Nacon and Spiders, the publisher is arguably behooved to reveal enough of the sequel to build excitement for it.
