Firefly Online announced

QMx Interactive and Spark Plug Games have announced Firefly Online – a multi-user online RPG that is set within the universe of the popular Firefly TV series.

Players will be able to captain a ship, recruit a crew and engage in missions, all while trading and fighting for survival.

The player’s ship will be customisable, and users can trade and interact with other players in the game, with cross-platform, cross-device gameplay included, although there aren’t many details to go on.

“It has always been our mission to bring the Verse to life for our customers in every way possible,” said Andy Gore, CEO of QMXi and Quantum Mechanix Inc.

“Firefly Online, while having a lot of familiar game elements, will be like no game you’ve ever experienced,” added John O’Neill, President of Spark Plug Games.

The game is set for release on iOS and Android in 2014.
