Firefly Online is revealed at San Diego Comic-Con! Watch the teaser trailer! [video]

Firefly fans have been asking for the shows return since FOX took it off the air and it seems like they will finally get their wish. However, it may not be in the way that they expected. It was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con that the show will be returning in the form of an iOS and Android game that will go live in 2014. The game will be an RPG (role-playing game) that puts the players in the shoes of a ship captain. Fans can visit the official site at keepflying.com and follow the game's progress.

"Firefly Online is a social role playing game (RPG) based on Firefly, Joss Whedon’s cult-hit television series. Firefly Online (FFO) is currently in development for iOS and Android, and may expand to include additional platforms.

In Firefly Online, players assume the role of a ship captain as they hire a crew and seek out adventures, all the while trading with and competing against the millions of other players to try to survive in the Verse: find a crew, find a job, keep flying.

FFO provides a variety of gameplay activities and systems so that players can fully experience life in the Verse:

• Assume the role of a ship captain - create a crew and customize a ship
• Aim to misbehave in space and planet-side adventures
• Cross-platform player experience across devices (pick-up and play from anywhere)
• Unique social features connecting Firefly fans
• Create a shiny ship and explore the Verse"

It may not be a television show or movie but are you excited to see Firefly return?
