Well it seems there is something shiny going on in the Firefly universe again. We had the privilege of speaking with Craig Redl of DarkCryo about their upcoming game Firefly Universe Online, or FUO for short. Craig gave us some insight into development as well as future plans. They intend on using much of the fans’ input to help create the ultimate fan game for this epic series. Ultimately, all that matters is we seem to be getting a gorram game devoted to Firefly. In my opinion this is the best thing that could happen aside from a season 2 being announced of course. DarkCryo will be unveiling a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the game tomorrow with a goal of $200,000.
