Since the launch of GreedFall 2’s Early Access, many of you have shared your thoughts on the combat system. You’ve expressed clear expectations: more fluidity, responsiveness, and clarity. We’ve heard you and improving the combat is one of our priorities.The upcoming update marks a major step in that direction. It improves the overall feel of combat, enhances visual clarity, and reinforcing the tactical aspect of the system.More Responsive and Dynamic CombatThe reactivity and close-quarters combat in real-time have been significantly improved. Attacks now trigger sooner and chain together more quickly, with snappier animations and smoother transitions — there’s no more returning to idle poses between strikes. Your character keeps their momentum more effectively, and micro-movements are better handled, especially when using abilities or when changing directions – the start of attack’s movement blending with the change of direction to be more reactive and dynamic.Movement has also become more fluid with the addition of strafe mechanics, faster 90° and 180° rotations, and gap-closing mechanics that help reduce downtime between actions.The Lock Target system has also been reworked. It now allows you to have a closer use of the camera in real-time combat, improved target-switching, and smoother transitions between enemies. Unlocking the target, attempting to flee or repositioning during the fight can be triggered by naturally sprinting on the battlefield. The result: your locked target stays in focus as long as you want, without compromising clarity or control for the rest of your actions.A Clearer Interface for More Informed DecisionsVisual feedback has been improved across the board: damage, critical damage, status effects, and positioning bonuses (like flanking or verticality) are now much easier to identify. Afflictions (and their active/inactive state) are more readable on characters, and enemy immunities are clearly displayed. You’ll always know what’s happening — and why.The UI has also been redesigned to better support gameplay: new icons for abilities, effects, and loot; clearer health and armor indicators; and improved visibility for Action Point gains. The skill tree now directly displays weapon abilities unlocked through each branch, and shortcut descriptions have been refined for better understanding.A Deeper Tactical ApproachFor those who prefer a more strategic style, the tactical mode has also received significant improvements. New tactical skills now allow you to issue group commands such as hold position, rally, heal, or revive. You can also order your allies to disengage when in difficulty, making it easier for them to immediately dodge any spicy situations – for example when your ranged fighters need to avoid melee people coming at them. Allies in danger are more clearly highlighted, and the play/pause buttons are now more visible to help you manage decisions in the heat of battle.We've also improved enemy behaviour to allow a more balanced spread of targets at the start of combat, as well as more logical reasoning from the AI towards actions taken during battle.Another key improvement: knockbacks or movement-altering effects no longer wipe a character’s action queue. This allows for finer strategic control, even when the situation starts to spiral.And This is Just the BeginningThese improvements mark an important milestone — but we know that combat is a core pillar of your experience. Our goal is to make the real-time experience more engaging and fun, both for players who are used to action RPGs and for those who want to discover the tactical aspect offered in GreedFall 2. We’ll continue refining it throughout Early Access. More changes are already in the works: balance tweaks, new animations, community-driven adjustments… You'll see the combat system evolve with every update, right up to the final release.Thank you for your feedback, your patience, and your continued support. GreedFall 2 is growing with you — and we can’t wait to see you dive back into the action on March 27th!Follow @greedfall and join the discussion:DISCORD X REDDIT FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM

Greetings Carants! We have a lot to go over with you in the run up to the next patch’s release on the 27th of March. So, hold onto your hats, and get ready for a plethora of exciting information! A new area to exploreFirst, we’d like to welcome you to Olima, City of Stars. Located within the ancient country of Thynia, a land held within enemy hands, this will be the next stop on your adventure across Gacane and provide you with brand new twists and turns as you try to find the reason behind the woes and ills befalling your people... A vast new area ripe for exploration and with plenty to see, the malichor ravages parts of this bustling city, the already derelict locations it consumes falling deeper into disrepair. You’ll come across various vistas scattered far and wide, such as the harbour, the science laboratory, and, of course, the tavern; enemies and allies lurk within many of these, and how you’ll handle them falls on your shoulders. Not only will you get to explore the city, you’ll also be able to head out into the wilds surrounding it. The fauna in these areas will present their own challenges, so be careful where you step, Carants – You never know what might surge out of the tall grass for a fight! Of course, this all comes with a continuation to the main storyline, as well as additional side quests to give you a deeper look into the world you find yourself in. What will you discover there? And where will it take you? Only time will tell. A new companion joins the party!Along with this new area comes a new companion – Safia, a member of the Bridge Alliance. She arrives on wings of wisdom to aid you and your party on the perilous journey across the continent. Anti-imperialist at heart, Safia is a seasoned explorer with a curiosity for the world around her. Her age and experience help keep her grounded, and with it, comes wisdom beyond compare ( though she doesn’t flaunt it ). A happy woman, content with the life she’s led, she now chooses to join you and help fight back against the growing evil that lurks on the horizon. Assisting the team using rifles and her own, personal skill tree, Safia’s also ready for battle. Unleash a variety of support skills to help you or your fellow team members in combat, tearing victory out of the hands of your enemies and gifting them the bitter taste of defeat. She might also be willing to teach you how to handle a rifle too... This is all we have to share with you this time. Keep your eyes peeled for more information, and we’ll see you soon for our first major update! Follow @greedfall and join the discussion:DISCORD X REDDIT FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM

Greetings Carants!First, we'd like to apologise for the silence on our end. These past few months, we’ve been working on the next update and had trouble keeping up with the Early Access timeline, developing the game and delivering the content on time, while incorporating your feedback and continuing developing the world, story and universe of GreedFall 2.We took the time to reflect on our shortcomings and readjust the way we’ll move forward together to meet your expectations. Thank you everyone for your patience and support, it truly means a lot to us.We know you have pressing questions about the next update and the Early Access and we’re here to answer most of them.When is the next update coming?The next major update will release on the 27th of March.What content does the next update bring? The next update offers a varied amount of content, including: The continuation to the main storyline; A new region and its biome: Olima, City of Stars; A new companion; The new Hub system; The start of the companion quests; New weapons and skills; Improved combat system; Bug fixes, and more.We’ll go into more details on these topics in upcoming posts, so please look out for them. To begin with, you can expect more information on the new region and companion tomorrow, and until the update’s release on the 27th of March we’ll keep you updated.Will we keep our save in the next update and between major updates?No, as previously mentioned, saves won’t be kept between major updates. Each time we release one, your progress will be reset. Due to compatibility issues this will also apply when the game fully releases.Will Early Access continue? Yes, Early Access will continue; however, we will be making some changes to its format. Our main goal remains delivering the best game possible and ensure you have a good experience with it.What does this mean? This means the number of updates during the Early Access will go from 4 updates to 2 bigger updates and some content will be moved around. March’s update will be the first of the two, with one update remaining afterwards.We’ve weighed all our options, and though it was a hard decision to make, this change will allow us to make each update more meaningful and impactful. It will also allow us to focus on improving the game and give us more time to guarantee that the content we deliver is of high quality.As stated above, our priority remains developing a game that you’ll enjoy when it fully releases.Will the game be released on consoles?Yes, it will be available on consoles too when the game fully releases.Why a closed beta?Earlier this year, some Early Access players participated in a closed beta, providing feedback on the next update’s content. The goal was to make sure the update met your expectations before rolling it out to everyone.After reviewing your feedback on the experience the game provided at launch, we identified critical aspects which needed improvement. The closed beta was a way for us to add the last touches to the final version of the update to ensure everyone would have a smooth experience and be satisfied with its release.So far, we’ve received encouraging comments about the update, and we hope you’ll all enjoy it too.Once again, we’re aware we’ve not been up to par and the delay didn’t help. The goal of the Early Access was to develop the game with the community, and we have miscalculated how much content we could handle at the same time. As it’s our first time developing a game in Early Access, the past few months have been a learning experience, helping us refocus.We’ve learned from it, and now more than ever, we’re committed to continuing this adventure with you in a more consistent and manageable way.Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to sharing more with you soon!
