French studio Spiders mid-budget action role-playing games and its next big title, GreedFall 2: The Dying World, Doesn't stray too far from the company's formula. As its name suggests, Greed 2 2019 is the successor of Action RPG Greedwhich takes place in an 18th century colonial setting with elements of fantasy. Both games have relatively similar gameplay, however Greed 2 Takes more direct inspiration from early BioWare-style RPGs, especially in terms of combat. One aspect of Spider's upcoming game that differs greatly from its predecessor, however, is its plot.
Although this is technically a follow-up, GreedFall 2: The Dying World Does not directly continue the original story Greed. Instead, it's more of a prequel than a proper sequel, like most Red Dead Redemption 2 who is Red Dead Redemption 1. The game features an entirely new cast of characters, and aside from some occasional references to the plot of the first game, it presents a standalone story that can be enjoyed without any prior knowledge. Greed 2In that sense, not really the direct successor that some might have hoped for. This approach continues a trend that has been present in all Spider games so far.

The biggest difference between GreedFall 2 and the first game so far
While GreedFall 2 does its best to maintain the franchise's formula, it's not without a handful of changes that improve and build on its predecessor.
GreedFall 2 is not a proper sequel to the original GreedFall
Spiders has not developed a direct follow-up to any of its games
Despite being a company with less than 100 employees, Spider has a fairly decent stock. In the 15+ years since its founding, the studio has launched a total of 7 different games and ported a handful of third-party titles to consoles. Interestingly, it has never once released a game with a “2” in its name; At least, not until Greed 2. For whatever reason, Spider has a habit of creating new IPs rather than focusing on its existing franchises and, for that reason, it has never developed a true sequel to any of its games.
Some Spider games have received prequels and paraquels, but not sequels
Although some of Spider's titles have spawned short-lived franchises, there are catches in each situation. The first Spider-Man game to receive some sort of successor was 2012's Of Orcs and Men. This action RPG, which was developed in collaboration with fellow French studio Cyanide, received two well-received prequels. Styx: Master of Shadows and Sticks: Shards of Darkness in 2014 and 2017 respectively. These games were created not by the spiders themselves, but by cyanide.
Another Spider-Man game that gained some sort of continuity was the cyberpunk space RPG, Mars: War Logs. Three years after the game's 2013 launch, another Spider-developed RPG was called Technomancer was released. Given how different their names are, one might think the two titles are part of their own individual franchises, but that's not the case. As the spider himself put it, Technomancer is actually a “paraquel”. Mars: War Logs. It is set in the same universe as the 2013 RPG, takes place simultaneously with the events of the other games, and is much like Greed 2Features a new cast of characters.
It would be great if Spiders made a sequel to one of its games someday
At this point, the fact that Spiders has practically done everything except release a sequel is amazing. The studio has made prequels and paraquels of all things, but it has strangely refused to make a regular, direct follow-up. too GreedFall 2: The Dying WorldA game from a company that actually sounds like it's going to be a sequel, isn't a sequel. While there are some advantages to avoiding direct successors and giving each game its own self-contained story, it would be nice if Spiders would someday make a proper follow-up to one of its RPGs. present Greed 2 Looks promising, but a Greed A sequel that picked up directly from where its predecessor left off, depending on the ending players chose in the original game, would have been great.
