The first Freelancer was a space trading and combat simulation game developed by Digital Anvil and published by Microsoft, released in March 2003 for PC. The game allowed players to pilot a starfighter and visit many star systems. They can engage in combat with other starfighters to protect traders or engage in piracy themselves. A sequel, Freelancer 2, was in development by Digital Anvil / Microsoft Game Studio for XBOX 360. Codenamed “Project Lonestar“, the game was cancelled when Microsoft closed the studio in 2006.

It was really fun, especially with the nice mods Freelancer had like Discovery. Too bad there aren’t any more games like it. Instead we get crap like Project Sylpheed on consoles which isn’t even similar at all.
I never played Freelancer, but when i found out about the cancelled sequel, i became really interested in the game. Sooner or later, i’ll try it. The concept is really interesting and this could have been a wonderful game. Shame on whoever decided to cancel it… even if they had their good reasons.
