Fanmade Star Wars game 19 years in the making is finally here, and it’s based on the greatest space sim ever made

Fate of the Galaxy, a fan-made Star Wars conversion of the space simulator FreeSpace 2, has been released after 19 years of development. It brings movie-inspired starfighter combat to a game engine whose community has continued to improve it, filling a gap for players seeking more Star Wars space games.

Development began in 2007, eight years after FreeSpace 2’s 1999 release. The free mod is available through ModDB and can be played without owning FreeSpace 2; its release is dedicated to a team member who died in 2023.
