Firefly’s Browncoats Get Their Own MMORPG?

Firefly

Multiverse Network, Inc., announced today that it has executed an option with 20th Century Fox to develop a massively multiplayer online game based on the defunct sci-fi television series Firefly. Multiverse plans to hire an independent production team to develop the project, and plans to make it available through the Multiverse Network sometime in 2008.

Firefly was a short-lived "space western" Fox television show developed by Joss Whedon of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame. Although only fourteen episodes were produced—and only eleven were broadcast back in 2002—the show developed a tremendous fan following and sold enough DVDs to justify Fox greenlighting a feature-length movie, Serenity (written and directed by Whedon), based on the series and starring the original cast. Firefly fans call themselves "browncoats," a nod to the series’ defeated independence movement.
