Pirate RPG Greedfall Will Get A PS5/Xbox Series X Update With New Content

After selling 1 million copies, the popular RPG is coming to next-gen.

9 Comments

Greedfall has been a big success, and now developer Spiders is looking to upgrade the game for the next generation of consoles. Greedfall will receive an update for PS5 and Xbox Series X, complete with new content.

In a tweet, the official Greedfall account announced that the game is coming to next-gen after selling over 1 million copies. This is a major milestone for the game, which has been so successful that it greatly boosted publisher Focus Interactive's profits.

The game, a pirate-centric action RPG, is currently available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The developer previously made The Technomancer.

Whether or not the next-gen version will be available as a free upgrade for existing owners isn't immediately clear, but that's been the norm for most games during this transition period. It's also not clear if Xbox One and PS4 owners will receive this new content, or if it'll be next-gen specific.

Greedfall earned a 5/10 in GameSpot's review. "Because Greedfall is so cavalier about its colonialist themes, and because it plays it safe by sticking so closely to the template of open-world RPGs, it doesn't really feel revelatory in any way," wrote reviewer Khee Hoon Chan.

Unexpected and welcome.
Underrated game,i enjoyed it pretty much.
I hope there is a sequel in the works where gameplay flaws are ironed out.
The game has a potential to be a longer running franchise if the devs has the right visions imo

There was a lot of confusion about this game when it first came out. It's actually a Bioware style RPG, sort of like KotoR if Kotor was an ARPG.

Unfortunately, I found it incredibly dull. The dev got way too hung up on adding quest objectives to every quest, so you often found yourself running back and forth reporting every step of your quest to every NPC involved. Before you know it, you've spent 30 minutes doing nothing but talk to people. In the first 5 hours of gameplay, only 20 minutes or so was actual gameplay. The rest was talking to NPCs and the dialogue wasn't exactly fascinating.

Your own review, that you quoted in the article states the game has a colonial theme, not pirates. Do you even have an editorial team?
