Spiders, maker of 2016's The Technomancer and 2014's Bound by Flame, said it's trying to depict grandiose sceneries in muted warm colours and dark undertones. You can get a sense of the look it's going for in the teaser video, below.

In the game you, alongside other settlers, mercenaries and treasure hunters, explore a remote island where the locals, who are fighting off invading settlers, are protected by supernatural beings.

Spiders said GreedFall is about combat, but it's also about diplomacy, deception and stealth.

Here's the official blurb:

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 affect its course as well as the relationship between the different factions established on the island.

That's it for now. GreedFall is planned for release in 2018 on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. One to watch .
