The FotG team has announced a new free first-person space combat Star Wars game, Fate of the Galaxy. Fate of the Galaxy promises to feature the incredible starfighter battles of the Star Wars Original Trilogy. In order to showcase the game’s current development state, the team released a gameplay teaser trailer.
Fate of the Galaxy is a singleplayer and multiplayer total conversion for the FreeSpace 2 SCP engine set in the Star Wars universe. Instead of seeking to recreate the experience of some of the previous LucasArts X-Wing Space Simulation games, the team in basing its mod almost entirely on the Original Trilogy. Furthermore, the team will strive to reproduce the feel from the space combat scenes in those movies as accurately as possible.
The team has gone to great lengths to accurately model the ships as they were seen on screen. As such, the team aims for authenticity and will try to make everything look just like you remember.
Unfortunately, this isn’t an official PC game. As such, we don’t know whether Disney will shut it down. It’s also worth noting that the team has been working on it since 2007. Therefore, it will be interesting to see whether it will be able to at least release a demo of it.
Enjoy the following teaser trailer and stay tuned for more!

“we don’t know whether Disney will shut it down”
Needs more soy to get it approved by Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Iger.
Doesn’t this fall under fair use being a mod and all?
There’s no such thing as fair use when it comes to creating content. Fair use is how much of existing content you can use in your product. For example, how much of a Star Wars films footage you can use in your reviews. Nobody has the right to use an IP to create something new, free or not. Some allow it, like Bethesda allowing their games to be modded, but some want to control the quality of what’s out there representing it without any confusion as to what is and isn’t official.
That’s for that clarification, copyright rules need to be much more lax, or die altogether.
Technically it is, though I’m not confident in the lifespan of this mod as too much online advertisement could harm the development rather than aid it. Lucasfilm is sensitive to anything “total conversion” nowadays, hence why Apeiron was shut down.
No it’s not. Fair use has nothing to do with creating entirely new things in someone else’s IP.
So in your logic all mods should be entirely banned then.
”debut gameplay trailer ??”
LMAO…that video is from last year May 5, 2019, and you claim this to be news article….Pathetic JOHN…..Trying to fill daily quota of useless articles as usual…
