...but not as a movie or TV series. Instead it will become yet another MMORPG for the Browncoats to sink their time into.
Fans of the short-lived television series and one-time movie "Serenity" will now have an opportunity to play within the "Firefly" Universe.
The sci-fi story, with a die-hard cult following, will be created into a MMORPG game by Multiverse, who have developed a free MMO-creation platform which over 7,000 development teams have registered to beta test.
"Firefly" is said to have reinvented, remade, or rejuvenated science fiction with its old west shoot-outs, frontier towns, smugglers, mercs, outlaws, traders, assasins, and some truly twisted characters known as the Reavers.
Reavers are humans who have gone completely insane and attack anything that isn't a Reaver. Anyone they capture, they eat. Alive. Will the game allow players to play a Reaver? An Assasin? A Government agent? A Geisha? A Smuggler? The possibilities are endless.
The game will move away from the main characters of the storyline as Multiverse wants everyone to "have their own story."
The game could be a solid hit as "Firefly" has a dedicated base of fans known as the "Browncoats" who have been trying to get the show back on TV since 2002. Now they'll get a crack at playing in the "Firefly" universe, instead of watching it.
