Brown Coats rejoice!
From the San Diego ComiCon comes the announcement of a Firefly Online game!
“Firefly Online (FFO) is a multi-user, social online role-playing game that will initially be available for smartphones and tablets, including those based on iOS and Android operating systems.”
In this game, you will be the captain of your own ship. You will assemble a crew, look for work, trade with other players and experience the universe,
“At QMx, we know firsthand how great and powerful a franchise Firefly is and how mighty the Browncoats are,” said Andy Gore, CEO of QMXi and Quantum Mechanix Inc. “It has always been our mission to bring the Verse to life for our customers in every way possible. The idea of creating an interactive experience where fans can have their own Firefly adventures — well, that’s just too shiny for words.”
“We are thrilled to be partnering with QMx on Firefly Online,” said Matt McMahon, VP of mobile for Fox Digital Entertainment. “QMx has a long and successful history with Firefly and we couldn’t think of a better partner to make a truly innovative game that will stand up in the Verse and to its passionate fans.”

I always thought how fun it would be if there was a Firefly MMO, so this sounds interesting. I’m not much of a mobile gamer, but I’m interested to see how this develops.
