GreedFall is the latest RPG from Spiders, currently in development for
PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Set in a 17th century setting embedded
in magic, Greedfall has a unique visual identity inspired by European
Baroque art, depicting grandiose sceneries in muted warm colors and
dark undertones.
Explore a fresh new world as – along with many other settlers,
mercenaries and treasure hunters - you set foot on a remote island
seeping with magic, rumored to be filled with riches and lost secrets.
A grand journey filled with mystery follows, as you find yourself in
the middle of ever-increasing tensions between the invading settlers
and the locals, who are protected by manifestations of the island’s
earthly magic in the form of supernatural beings.
With a strong focus on its core RPG identity, GreedFall follows
Spider's experience in building intricate worlds filled with mysteries
to discover, weaving deep character interactions, and offering players
freedom to achieve quests and objectives in many different ways –
through combat, as well as diplomacy, deception or stealth. The island
of GreedFall is a living, ever-evolving world. Your actions, from
seemingly trivial choices to the most important political decisions,
will influence and alter its course, as well as the relationship
between the different factions established on the island.
Story
The Old World is dying. The continent is polluted, overpopulated, and
plagued by a deadly, incurable disease. Its weary population grows
desperate.
But there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon – an Island, remote and
hidden, has been discovered. Teer Fradee... a land spared by the
Malichor plague, a haven of life, wild and untampered by mankind. It is
the promise of riches, but also represents the best hope for mankind to
find a cure to the Malichor.
You are cruising with the Congregation of Merchants aboard a Nautes’
ship sailing to Teer Fradee. Your cousin, Constantin De Sardet, is set
to become the governor of one of the Congregation's newest colony, New
Serene. When the ship finally moors to the dock of the port town, you
will begin your exploration of the promised land, on an arduous quest
to find a cure to the Malichor on one hand, and playing a risky,
large-scale diplomatic game on the other, with both the nations and
factions colonizing the island, and the mysterious natives who seems to
be magically connected to their environment.
Universe and Artistic
Direction
The world of GreedFall and its visual identity draw heavily from 17th
century Europe: its architecture, costumes, weaponry, ambiance – each
and every element of the game – take root in this period of history
dominated by exploration, scientific discoveries, and booming culture
in general.
Supporting its world, the artistic direction of GreedFall is greatly
inspired and influenced by Baroque art and Flemish paintings. The
grandiose sceneries, depicted in muted warm colors and dark undertones,
reflect those painted by artists of the time, and plunge the player in
a unique, beautiful world.
The world of GreedFall is not entirely down-to-earth. You will explore
an immense island seeping with magic. Its lands, inhabited by
magic-wielding locales and fantastical creatures, hide countless
mysteries and secrets, awaiting to be discovered.
Core RPG Identity
GreedFall is an RPG at heart, with emphasis on freedom in both
character development and how you proceed through the world.
At the beginning of the game, you pick your gender and a few starting
attributes, then build from there to create your own playstyle. The
class-less progression system lets you tap various branches from an
extensive skill tree, and create your own skill synergies. With other a
hundred skills to choose from, you craft your very own experience.
You can progress through the game and achieve quests in a multitude of
different ways – through combat, diplomacy, deception... the way you
reach your objectives depends solely on your choices and how you choose
to develop your character. However, keep in mind that the island of
GreedFall is a living, ever-evolving world! Your actions, from
seemingly trivial choices to the most important political decisions,
will influence its course and, ultimately, shape your story.
The equipment you wear – including weapons, combat armor and garbs
suitable for social interactions – as well as a deep crafting system
further deepens character customization and traits. Equip the weapons
and armor pieces that best synergize with your playstyle and skills,
upgrading them through crafting to improve the attributes that best
serve your needs.
Diplomacy
In GreedFall, situations are not always resolved by spilling blood.
Your wits are just as important as your prowess with a blade, and
diplomacy will often negate the need for combat.
The world of GreedFall is home to numerous factions, each with their
own beliefs, territories, goals, allies and enemies. You will forge and
break alliances, weaving your way through an intricate reputation
system. Every decision you make has the potential to please or anger
these factions and their leading figures.
Your ability to handle diplomatic encounters, and who you will decide
to help or fight, will ultimately impact the geopolitical landscape of
the island, leading to peace treaties and bustling communities... or
declarations of war and factions wiped from the island altogether.
In the same fashion, your companions are affected by your decisions,
and they’ll react accordingly. How you deal with their problems,
respond to their concerns or consider their faction alignments will all
affect their attitude toward you – upset them too much, and they might
just leave or even turn against you. You may even develop a bond and
start a romance.
Combat
When diplomacy fails or is simply out of the question... draw your
blade and let steel speak! Mostly untamed, the island of GreedFall is
filled with countless dangers – belligerent factions, fearsome beasts,
and fantastical creatures – which may not always be reasoned with.
Your weapons and skills of choice determine your approach of combat. A
large array of melee and ranged weapons, as well as magical powers,
empower you to face and fight any threat you may encounter. The
class-less progression system lets you freely choose the skills and
perks that best suit your way to fight, whether that’s a focus on heavy
armor and defense, slow and hard-hitting weapons, magic damage, ranged
weapons, or any combination of all the skills and tools at your
disposal!
Your companions give you a helpful hand during battle. Each is
specialized in roles including healing, tanking, magic or simply
dealing damage - you decide who fights alongside you, choosing the
companions who best complement your playstyle – or simply those you
most like at your side on the road!
