June, 2011 – 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.

Sounds fun! I was watching firefly on the science channel for a time. Hmm.
[spoiler]The last episode I saw ended in inara saying "I'm leaving"
Talk about a cliff hanger![/spoiler]
Yeah we're all big Firefly fans here Turtle. You'll have to watch Serenity to see where it goes.
I'd definitely give this game a try when it shows up.
BEST SHOW in the last decade, IMO.
