Speaking

25th Anniversary

On May 20, 2020, Privateer 2: The Darkening director Steve Hilliker released The Darkening 25th Anniversary Restoration which featured footage restored from Betacam tapes. The footage has been edited down into a cinema cut but where available it is of much higher quality than the game's files.

Betacam

A pair of Betacam SP tapes recovered from Digital Anvil have provided high quality versions of much of Privateer 2: The Darkening's Main Plot. These cuts are not final and digital effects are missing.

Storyboards

A collection of Privateer 2 Storyboards has been provided by Joe Garrity of the Origin Museum. They cover the Main Plot cutscenes.

Script

The The Darkening Script Draft 7 used during the game's shooting has been provided by Erin Roberts.

SC.125 INT. ANGUS SANTANA'S OFFICE

It's as crowded as Taffin's was, but a lot neater. Work
material is stacked up all over the place. When the player
clicks on him, ANGUS SANTANA stands up from behind the desk.
This is a very young looking man, earnest, an innocent-
looking face. Santana is really enthusiastic, boyish and
speedy, with futuristic hipness.
