As far as I know, there is no freelancer 2 game and no word of it being in the works. This is likely just a fan site created by someone in hopes MS will make the game.

Ok, thanks Finalday. I have been out of Freelancer for a while and stumbled onto it, sparking a hopeful thought.

To me it appears someone went out and bought the "freelancer2.com" domain name basically so he can sell it for a proit. Did you notice the link at the bottom? It's a place where you can buy the domain name.

The funniest part is the description:
"This makes this domain a perfect environment for a website about the game.
Especially with Freelancer2 coming out soon."

It's been almost 2 and a half years since the first games release, and no word of a sequel (and hopes for one slowly fades with each passing month), yet this moron is claiming that it'll be "coming out soon", lol. :p

Two and a half years isn't such a long wait ... if you are in a sleep ship maybe.

On the other hand look how long it took them to get HALF LIFE 2 together. As good as FL is, and with the kind of fan base it has, MS would have to be stupid not to make a sequel, I still see this game on store shelves and have even seen a couple people buy it from the stores within the last 6 months. Even though MS disolved Digital Anvil, there's still a possibility they will make, or are making a sequel. At least I would hope they wouldn't let this kind of opportunity pass them by.

If they are indeed developing a Freelancer 2, MS will probably set it so that it'll only run with the Vista OS- any bets, folks?

Puke makes a good point. The earthlings took years to make it to sirius to get FL the first working. Give it time...

A whois on the domain shows it has been registered by a German since the 11th of July 2004.

It runs out on the 11th of July 2006, although whether he will continue to pay his $15 a year for the domain is debatable.

Simply put, according to the whois, he doesn't actually own it at all. He has it for a year/two year time limit only, and will have to pay to renew the domain when it comes to the renewal date, otherwise the company that does own it would have it.

Since MS appear to have their games sites on their own site only... tis doubtful.
