Summary
2024 is chock-full of highly anticipated releases, but one of them is likely to make waves after its predecessor became a cult hit in 2019.GreedFall 2: The Dying Worldis the second installment in Spiders’GreedFallfranchise, but acts as a prequel to the events of the first game. UnlikeGreedFall, which was published by Focus Entertainment,GreedFall 2is being published by Nacon, publisher ofThe Lord of the Rings: Gollum,andthe recent surprise hitRoboCop: Rogue City.
GreedFall 2: The Dying Worldwas announced on July 31, 2025, and has already been confirmed for a 2024 release. While neither Spiders nor publisher Nacon has yet to give the upcoming prequel an official release date, it’s possible to speculate on a release window for the game based on the developer’s release history. Thankfully, for fans ofGreedFall,GreedFall 2’s release window seems rather clear.
Predicting GreedFall 2’s Release Date
Spiders Tends to Favor a Fall Release Window
Spiders began in 2008, with their first release,Sherlock Holmes Versus Jack the Ripper, following in May 2009. Since then, the developer has maintained a fairly consistent release schedule for its games, save for only a few. While its first game was released in the spring, however, Spiders tends to favor a fall release window for new releases, and this is especially true of its last several games.
As can be seen above, Spiders typically releases its new games between the months of September and November. While its first title had a spring release date, the developer quickly transitioned to a more consistent fall release schedule with the titles that followed it and its second game,Gray Matter. It’s important to note thatGreedFallwas released in September, as well asSpiders' most recent soulslike title,Steelrising. Judging by the developer’s history, especially in recent years,it’s likely thatGreedFall 2: The Dying Worldwill be released in September 2024. If not in September, then at least by November.
When Fans Can Expect an Update on GreedFall 2’s Release Date
At the time of writing,GreedFall 2has only been given a very loose release window of 2024. While this can understandably lead to fans questioning whetherGreedFall 2really will be released this year, Spiders confirmed in a Tweet on January 1 thatGreedFall 2is still slated for a 2024 release.
If Spiders does choose to give it a fall release date, thenit’s likely fans will get an update regardingGreedFall2’s official release date by summer 2024. This is primarily based on the developer’s history with release date announcements, as evenGreedFall’s was divulged in July 2019 via a release date announcement trailer.GreedFall2’s release date announcement will most likely also involve another trailer of some kind, as the trailer for the game itself is the only official footage to be released thus far. To ensure they keep up with any updates regardingGreedFall 2, however, players should follow Spiders and Nacon on social platforms such as X and YouTube.
While all of this is entirely speculation at this point, it seems rather likely thatGreedFall 2: The Dying Worldwill be given a September 2024 release date, with the release date officially being disclosed sometime this summer. Either way, it’s going to be an exciting year forGreedFallfans, as the developer has already confirmed the prequel’s 2024 release.
