After Chris Roberts’ troubled six-year development of Freelancer, which Microsoft acquired before its 2003 release, fans have long imagined a sequel with the original vision intact. Now, a fan team has released Freelancer: The Nomad Legacy, a 15-year passion project designed as an unofficial sequel.
The mod introduces new star systems, a 13-mission campaign, and HD visuals. It also overhauls progression and restores cut features. However, the English localization relies entirely on AI-generated voice acting and translation due to internal production struggles. Despite this caveat, the project is available to download for those wishing to revisit the universe.
