Greedfall 2: The dying world gets free DLC after developer shutdown

Greedfall: The dying world, the sequel to the original Greedfall released in 2019, has announced that a previously paid DLC is now being made available for free. The announcement was made by developer Spiders and marks an important development for the game, especially as it appears to be the final stage of support for the title.

Development history

The game launched in Early Access in September 2024 and quickly drew criticism for its shift to turn-based combat, which differed from the action-based RPG experience expected from the original game. The final version, with a full release, arrived in March 2026 on platforms including PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.

Financial troubles and Spiders' shutdown

The announcement of the free DLC comes in the wake of financial problems at publisher Nacon, which has declared insolvency. This had direct consequences for developer Spiders, which has ceased operations. It is unclear how this situation will affect future support for the game and its community.

Contents of the free DLC

The DLC, called Peren's Black Mass, was originally intended as a paid expansion with its own mini-story. However, the current patch notes make no mention of the original pricing structure, and it appears the content is now being offered for free. How players will activate and access this content in-game remains unclear, especially since there are currently no developers available to answer user questions.

All in all, the situation around Greedfall: The dying world and its DLC remains uncertain. For now, players will have to wait and see how the free expansion rolls out and what the future holds for the franchise.
