Spiders announced last month that it was delaying GreedFall 2: The Dying World’s Autumn update, Update 0.2, with the intention of instead focusing on delivering fixes related to gameplay based on feedback from players. Now, in another update published on Steam, the developer has offered more insight on the matter, and warned that the changes that it wants to implement aren’t all going to come at once.
Spiders says the gameplay changes it’s looking to prioritize based on feedback from players over the course of GreedFall 2’s early access period thus far will target the combat, the UI, character customization, and more. That said, the studio also says that the changes, which “require substantial work”, will happen “gradually”.
“As mentioned in our last Community Update, we have decided to delay the release of Update 0.2,” the developer says. “This decision allows us to focus on implementing significant improvements and fixes based on your feedback. These include the combat system—which is as important to you as it is to us—the UI, character customization, optimization, and many other aspects.
“Most of the changes we want to implement will take place gradually. As they need substantial work, Update 0.2 will only be the first step towards this end goal. We’re looking forward to sharing these improvements with you when they’re ready.”
Spiders also says it’s in the process of recasting Alvida, who will be portrayed by a new actor going forward, with her existing lines also obviously set to be replaced.
“We also encountered an issue with recording Alvida’s lines during development,” Spiders explains. “Sadly, for reasons out of our control, the original voice actress couldn’t record anymore, and we needed time to assess and find a solution. We recently met a new voice actress with whom we’ll start recording Alvida’s lines again. It also means we’ll have to record all her previous lines to ensure the voice doesn’t change in the middle of the game. So, you can expect a change of cast for the next update and onwards for Alvida.”
As for when Update 0.2 will finally arrive, Spiders says it doesn’t yet have a firm release date to share.
“We wish we could provide a release date, but we would rather wait until we’re certain,” the developer says. “What we can promise is that our priority remains delivering a game that meets your expectations and takes your feedback into account.”
GreedFall 2: The Dying World is available on PC in early access. When it launches in full, it will also be available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
