-Serenity lives on. A loyal fan base follows the short-lived sci-fi western and game developers are looking to cash in by developing a MMORPG. Four years later and after only 11 episodes, a significant number of fans are still interested in this property. Something few shows can say after even a full season or two on the air.

Enough profit was made on the DVD box set of the series, creator Joss Whedon got the green light on the feature film Serenity. Now, Multiverse developers are going to take a shot and are looking to work with the original cast for voiceovers and input from Whedon.

And while this is exciting news for fans there is a good chance this online game may never see the light of day. Only a handful of games, especially online multiplayer games actually make it out of development hell. Fox would love to have a franchise work as a MMORPG, and every company would like to be as successful as World of Warcraft. However, reality is something much different.

There are many who think the MMORPG genre is already chockfull of titles and may not support another. Numerous massively multiplayer online games are available and many more are in development. Can Firefly stand up against the current juggernaut of World of Warcraft or even those looking to break into the field such as Star Trek, Lord of the Rings and Marvel superheroes franchises?
