Evaluation

FreeSpace 2 is a classic space combat game originally released in 1999 by Volition Inc and published by Interplay Corp. It arrived on Steam on June 6, 2014 as a straightforward re-release of the finished retail product. The store description and short description contain no mention of DLC, expansions, season passes, post-launch updates, or any planned additional content — they are purely narrative descriptions of the original game's setting and premise. There is no DLC listed, no developer communications about future content, and no indication of any post-launch content cadence on Steam. The game launched as a complete, standalone product in 1999 and was re-listed digitally in 2014 without any new content development activity. It is a finished classic title.

About this game

The year is 2367, thirty two years after the Great War. Or at least that is what YOU thought was the Great War. The endless line of Shivan capital ships, bombers and fighters with super advanced technology was nearly overwhelming.

As the Terran and Vasudan races finish rebuilding their decimated societies, a disturbance lurks in the not-so-far reaches of the Gamma Draconis system.

Your nemeses have arrived... and they are wondering what happened to their scouting party.
