Firefly Is Getting An Online Game, But It Might Be Serenity Valley All Over Again
Firefly Online is real thing that was just announced at San Diego Comic-Con, but we need to temper your expectations. This isn't the exciting fan-made game we told you about earlier this year. The title is coming first to iOS and Android, and the developers behind it are relatively unknown.
Sparkplug Games has produced a number of hidden object titles, a licensed Dairy Queen title, and a zombie game with a font that is oddly reminiscent of Popcap's gardening-meets-undead throwdown. Firefly Online is purported to be a "multi-user, social online roleplaying game."
You can check out the trailer below, and if you want to head out into the black, you can sign up on the website (though the "About" page doesn't seem to be live yet). The title is expected in 2014.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
