Fellow Browncoats, the indie crew of
DarkCryo Entertainment this week announced that they are taking over where Fox and Multiverse
had stranded fans of the cancelled television series Firefly with their
intention to continue development of the long-awaited Firefly MMORPG
interactive title.
Already titled
Firefly Universe Online,
the game highlights multiple playable factions, special cast
appearances, canonical planetary environments, and groundbreaking
role-play mechanics. A release date for Firefly Universe Online has not
yet been set, although development efforts have already been well
underway for some time now.
Firefly Universe Online is seeking official endorsement
by 20th Century Fox and Mutant Enemy Inc, however it will proceed in the
interim under fair use as an unauthorized canonical parody, a tribute
to the fans, the beloved cast, and creator Joss Whedon. You can check
out this shiny new game via their
official website.
