The original German text of a post off of an Austrian Website

APhilipp schreibt "Es ist also offiziell. Digital Anvil arbeitet an einem Nachfolger der Weltraumsimulation, die bereits jetzt einen Kultstatus erreicht hat. Der Erscheinungstermin April 2004 könnte dabei vielleicht sogar halten, dauerte doch die Entwicklung von Nr. 1 über vier Jahre, da werden die Erfinder in der langen Zeit wohl auch schon Pläne für den Nachfolger geschmiedet haben. Ich empfehle aber die Gerüchte bezüglich der interaktive Fernsehserie und die damit verbundene Rückkehr von Mark Hammill noch mit Vorsicht zu behandeln.
Die Fortsetzung ist aber in jedem Fall ein Grund zur Freude, denn das "Freelancer-Universum" hat noch ein gigantisches Potential
APHILIPP

Rough translation:

APhilipp writes "It is official. Digitall Anvil is now working on a successor of the space simulation, which reached a cult status already. The developers of the first one took four years to develop it. During that time, they must have forged new ideas and plans for its successor. It is my recommendation that rumors of a TV series and the return of Mark Hammill be treated with cautiom. What ever the case, the continuation of this game should be viewed with joy because the "Freelancer Universe" has such gigantic potential. APHILIPP

I apoligize if their are any translation errors. I have not really worked with German for over 10 years. Hope this helps.

Its official? In that case why haven't we heard through official sources! If it were true, and it was official, they would have told more than just someone who can post on that site. Once again, rumours and any old tom/dick/harry posting news of a sequel does NOT mean its happening. It also doesn't mean that it aint either though.... Can be ever hopeful


Just remember - there are 200,000 sites on the net that post copious amounts of pictures, stories and theories based upon alien abduction. Does that mean Aliens do in fact exist, and are on earth then? (erm - this is a joke to put this second tiny "revelation" into perspective. I can give you a third bit of "evidence" by posting some bogus news of Freelancer 2 on my home page as well - which sadly, doesn't mean its happening ).

-Chips I agree with you totally. I will not believe anything until I hear from the horses mouth at DA or MS. When I saw that someone was asking for a translation of a German post. I could not resist doing it just for fun.

it could be true.

GENERAL JULIUS MAXIMUS, OF THE 234th ZERGA SQUADRON, AT YOUR SERVICE

Mark Hamill got killed off in Wing Commander Prophecy. Are they going to resurrect him as an aging Trent???

'WE ARE THE BUGSSSSSSSSSSS!!!"








Jose Chavez: "Trent! It's good to see my kind of scum."

omfg I so hope not. He was geting on my nerves as Blair, I couldn't abide to see his talentless mundane and decrepit acting style applied to Trent, even as voice-over.
