An open world space adventure simulator with an epic plot
A fan made sequel of the legendary space sim from 2003 with upgraded visuals, new story and new mechanics
The core of this project is a brand-new story campaign that offers a fresh perspective on Freelancer. This narrative introduces a host of new characters while striving to be a worthy continuation of the beloved classic. It also aims to expand the game’s mechanics and bring greater depth to its universe.
Engage in diverse missions, political intrigue, and covert operations. Explore incredible alien ruins, face the most dangerous threats, and — of course — save the world as a final result!
You'll explore a completely reimagined game world, filled with new secrets and surprises. Unlock hidden locations by hacking into derelict battleships and abandoned stations, mining ore from asteroids, harvesting gas from icy comets, rummaging through space debris clusters, and more.
Upgrade your ship in every way possible: swap out guns, shields, engines, and generators. Discover tons of equipment in shops, secret locations, or simply loot it from enemy ships.
A vast array of gear is available, varying not only between factions but also depending on your ship class! Choose your role: nimble fighter, heavy gunship, or freighter.
Experience the most visually enhanced Freelancer ever—while feeling its original art style. We’ve crafted custom high-resolution textures to make the game stunning and crisp on any modern display.
The project brings the universe to life like never before. Ship wings dynamically extend and retract, station components move with purpose — every animation serves both immersion and gameplay.
Combat reaches new tactical depth with fully simulated ship segmentation. Target specific subsystems: disable a fighter’s engines, breach a cruiser’s armor plating, or cripple a gunboat’s weapons. An enhanced targeting interface lets players systematically dismantle even the most formidable opponents!

This project has been a significant long-term endeavor, but we've now developed numerous specialized tools to accelerate progress. Only a few key tools remain to bring the project to completion - most notably, a system for rapid cutscene creation, which represents our most complex remaining challenge.
Upcoming Development Milestones
Version 1.0 use not all of my developed game mechanics. I wanted to make some epilogue, based on lass directed missions. It shall use automatically generated cutsceness without complex cinematography and with more systematized story missions.
Cutscenes will be created in KCD2-style. Missions should use my unused ideas of physical challenges for Nomad Lair, you will join into more challenges against all possible types of battleshis, cruisers and gunboats. Also you will find full-playable cloaking devices and some unique gameplay for it.
I have a personal stake in seeing this project through to completion - especially epilogue and all remaining not used ideas. Can I actually pull it off? I believe so. The real question is how fast I can make it happen. If you want me to focus entirely on Freelancer and implement these ideas as quickly as possible, you can support the project via the links below.
