How long can a person wait before they want to see some of the characters they came to enjoy back in action? Well, in the case of Freedom Force, players spent quite a long time waiting for them to jump back into the fray after their FFVTTR adventures. Enter: Patriot City Tales — a community collaboration mod that attempts to bridge the gap between FF1 and FFvTTR. While it may not be the expansion of the main story that everyone wanted, the middle area between both games allows for the community to flesh out and expand the Freedom Force universe in ways the creators of the game may not have imagined.

Episode 2 Pics!

Diablo and Ant vs. Ants

Freedom Force is beginning to fall apart after losing one of their members, and the active roster is smaller than it ever has been. When Diablo notices that Shadow’s goons are overrunning the city, he puts out a call to order only to have his expectations shattered when no one except The Ant and Mentor show up to help him save the city.

However, trust begins to falter when Diablo suspects that one of the Freedom Forcers may have switched sides, and when something unexpected happens during the examination of Shadow’s hideout, Diablo, Ant, and Mentor realize that they may be in bigger trouble than they realized.

Meanwhile, teenagers are vanishing from the streets of Patriot City, and with the ranks of Freedom Force still scattered to the four winds, only Man ‘O War and Sea Urchin are able to heed the call to action.  The salty amphibian hero is not about to let any “wee lads and lasses” come to harm in HIS town.  Together, the two heroes hit the mean streets in search of a lead.
