Greedfall - Sold One Million & Getting New Content
 

Spiders have tweeted that Greedfall has sold 1 million worldwide and will be getting new content.

More information.

Good for them, been waiting for this to go on sale, looks like it's probably a good time to pick it up.

I was actually just about to start playing it! There's a "sign up here for beta test" topic on the Steam forums for a fix that seems to have never made it into the main version, so I'm a bit worried about the game.

The tweet isn't very clear, though. Will the new content ONLY be for the next gen consoles? Hope we get a proper announcement soon.

Very surprising news.

I stopped playing to wait for a bigger patch that never got released.
Game was released on September 10th 2019, last patch was on October 31st 2019…

Hm… could be that they've reached some milestone with their new project Steelrising and have some free resources to go back to Greedfall.
Or they just want to appear again in the news to prepare the PR campaign for Steelrising. Seems a little early fopr this though.

I personally very much enjoyed it. I thought it was underrated and I, for one, are looking forward to more content.

Finished it in march i think and already forgot what happens in it lol

I really enjoyed the exploring and the look of the Island. The story didn't keep my attention and the quests were hit and miss. I did enjoy the combat but the creatures on the island were average and could have used more variety. I lasted about 30 hours before I moved on.

You went to an island and your brother got ill.

Another game I should go back and complete. Played this one right after finishing Technomancer only to get burned out and uninstalled it

The news it sold one million copies was announced earlier this year already. As for the new console version with added content, I'm mildly interested but not surprised.

As other older games are getting graphic upgrade for the newer consoles as well.

This is interesting. I loved the game myself. It was a GOTY contender for me.

Was good but not great imo. The endgame really seemed to drag for me, and I was glad when I finished it. It would take a very significant amount of new content for me to ever replay it.

I have a feeling that the new content will be to justify an "ultimate edition" re-release on PS5/Xbox Series. By including new content, they will be able to say it is new, and therefore not an auto-update from the last-gen versions.

Translation - buy our game again on your next gen consoles!

I hope I am wrong - I got about half way through it originally, and wouldn't mind a next gen update to continue playing.

Greedfall was/is great. It's one of those games that I played for a couple dozen hours, got distracted by something else, and will return to one day; probably with a new playthrough.

I found this game really, really dull. So much running back and forth, so many buildings that all look the same. Dark, brown, gray and dull.

Heads up guys the game is getting an expansion as well.

Seems to me that's probably the new content hinted at in the tweet.

The tweet barely had any details. This is part of the press release. Anyway new content can mean anything for console upgrades. Now we know it's a full expansion also.

Sure, I'm just saying that's probably what was being referred to in the tweet.

On a side note has more information been released on Steelrising their next RPG project yet? All I remember is the short trailer set in an alternative French Revolution.

You play a female cyborg also according to the information available.

Thanks Potato. I was about to buy it and start playing, but seeing as I have waited this long, I may as well wait for it to be a complete edition. :)

I was about to get Greedfall this Steam Autumn Sale, since it reached its historical lowest price. But after reading this thread, I also decided to wait a little longer.

This is coming on gamepass this month.

An update on the gold edition of the game.

GreedFall Gold Edition is coming on June 30th with a brand new DLC - Steam

First time I've ever seen a gold edition with exclusive DLC. Kind of lame tbh.

Lame is a kind word, what comes to mind for me is shady. Granted I've not purchased this to date, yet had I, right now I might be a tad miffed. They seriously need to make sure those that ponied up full price at launch gets access to this new content.

There was supposed to be a big patch coming and I've shelved it for 6 months, not sure what happened to the patch….

I'm happy for these guys. I feel the game turned a bit repetitive after the second chapter, but I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the plot quite a bit. Looking forward to what they can come up with next.

Devs said on Steam that you can buy the DLC separately, if you have the base game.

EDIT: See posts #11 and #13 here https://steamcommunity.com/app/60688…822?snr=1_5_9_

Will the new tech upgrades be applied to those who bought nthe base game as well? As the Gold version is the remastered version for the more powerful consoles.

Steelrising you might like as you play a female android warrior.

Steelrising - Official Reveal Trailer

Doesn't look bad, but the trailer doesn't show a lot about the game. We'll see!

Yeah not much information yet and the website is just a news-letter.Link - https://steelrising.org/

Please inform me : What is so special with Greedfall ?

Classic bioware lite. Well, that is to say, it shows some promise in that direction for some. ie. Interesting characters and setting with tough dilemmas and decent combat.

For those that play Spiders' (the French studio that is) games, Greedfall is a bit of a turning point. They've been making budget RPG titles for a decade now and Greedfall is a major attempt at reaching the next level, somewhere between budget and AAA. So the game is longer and less linear, with larger maps to explore. Like Silver said, approaching Bioware but not there yet.

It's an ambitious game for a smaller studio and hopefully something they can follow up on.

Further posts from the Devs… "On PC, there are no changes to the base game." and "There are no tech changes for the PC edition."

It doesn't sounds like the gold edition is going to be any different than the main edition except the DLC will be included. So buying the DLC ($7) for the existing game would be the same as buying the gold edition?

There's no new posts at all in the "beta branch" thread. That branch is no longer available but the topic is still there and pinned in the general forum. It's like they've forgotten it's even there.

It's a solid game with an interesting setting, but I wouldn't say there's anything special about it. I enjoyed Greedfall enough to finish it, but I don't think I'll ever replay it.

A complementary perspective: to me, Greedfall feels nothing like a Bioware game, but it does feel to me like a very solid Piranha Bytes style game. I found the combat completely boring and clunky, but like Silver I liked the setting, characters, and quest/faction choices. There's some exploration, and samey maps with preordained corridors through them (think Kingdoms of Amalur)
