If there were ever a non-AAA developer that I’ve looked to make that leap it would be Spiders. They’ve always had great ideas for deep-worldly action-RPGs with Bound By Flame and Technomancer, but just didn’t get over that cusp for whatever reason. Enter GreedFall. I have been absolutely fascinated by everything I’ve seen, and the GreedFall Companions trailer from Gamescom is no exception.
You are set to explore the new land untouched by a deadly plague, Teer Fradee. A land inspired by 17th century Europe, yet teeming with magical beings and creatures lurking throughout. With deep customization, plentiful skill trees and tiers, Spiders looks to be creating a game which led us to fall in love with the RPGs of the past. The world being built looks equal parts enchanting and haunting. If the companionship works out as described, a deep system that will force characters in your party to react based on your choices, this could be an RPG reminiscent of yesteryear should everything pan out.Â
GreedFall is being developed by Spiders Games and is set to release on September 10, 2019 for PS4, PC and Xbox One.
