As we get closer to the release of GreedFall: The Dying World, developer Spiders has released a brand new trailer for the game focusing on the world of Gacane. Rather than focusing on the fact that the world is dying, however, the trailer highlights just how beautiful Gacane can be, with shots walking us through cities, ruins, and forests.
The trailer features the song “From Another World”, composed and produced by Olivier Derivière (known for his work on games like South of Midnight and A Plague Tale: Requiem) and performed by Linda Oláh, and we get to see beautiful locations like Teer Fradee, the coastal town of Thynea, the ancient coastal ruins nearby, the fishing town of Uxantis, the massive city of Olima, and the megapolis of Peren. Throughout the video, we don’t see much in the way of conflict. Rather, citizens are living peacefully, while animals and creatures roam the lands of their own accord.
However, underneath everything, there is still a hint of coming conflict. Among the scenes we get to see are strange monsters in the wilderness, plague doctors walking down empty streets, and shady deals being made away from prying eyes.
The story of GreedFall: The Dying World is a prequel of sorts, being set three years before the events of the original game. The protagonist is a native of Teer Fradi, who is torn from their homeland and taken to war-torn Gacane. The main plot will revolve around the protagonist’s quest for freedom, and will culminate in events that end up shaking up the foundations of the world.
GreedFall: The Dying World initially hit Early Access back in September 2024. While it has seen a mixed reception since then, the studio has continued to release updates with story additions and other improvements for the game. You can check out more details of its original release in our review, where we gave it a score of 6 out of 10. We praised its environments, visuals and writings, but found quite a few problems from pathfinding and target selection, to a lack of impact in the game’s decision-making systems.
Among the new content added to the title have been the City of Stars, Olima, and The Hub, as well as the companions. The first major one of these updates was released back in March 2025, bringing with it the Hub – the player’s very own ship.
The title was originally released as GreedFall 2: The Dying World. Back in December, however, the studio decided to remove the “2” from its name. In a community post, Spiders said that the change came about due to the sense that the name was a “little confusing at times as the game isn’t technically a sequel.”
While development on GreedFall: The Dying World has been ongoing, things haven’t been perfect at the studio. July 2025 saw lay-offs hitting Spiders focusing on the animation and rigging team.
GreedFall: The Dying World is exiting Early Access on PC on March 12th. PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions will also be coming out on the same day.
