From what they've shown fast travel is handled differently in this game. There are ox-pulled wagons in that you can find roaming the world that will take you to major locations (and also wagons in the major cities). It appears you have the option to rest while on the cart to skip the journey or you can just ride them. Apparently you can also be ambushed while riding in the wagon.

Ah that sounds sick. One of the only issues I had with the first game was that some of the fast travel markers were really far out there, I liked not being able to just fast travel somewhere immediately but some were just a slog. I remember taking hours to get to one because I was being harassed by harpies and bandits the whole way that weren’t super challenging, just time consuming and endless, and the walk was a good 45 minutes with no interruption lol
