At this year’s San Diego Comic Con, Firefly fans held their breath as Firefly was brought into conversation. After its unfortunate cancellation after only one season due to airing and viewership issues, Firefly has become a cult classic among sci-fi fans. Firefly has returned in the form of an ongoing comic book series, but Browncoats (fans of the series) still want more. In 2015, fans will be able to enter the world of Firefly Online, an online Firefly video game. It was announced today that Firefly Online will feature voice contributions from the entire original cast!

“If I were a captain…” starts the first-ever gameplay trailer of the game. The highly anticipated role-playing game will bring all the excitement of outer space adventures to your very own computer on Microsoft Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. Players will be able to acquire a ship, hire a crew, and lead missions of their very own. Firefly Online is being developed by Quantum Mechanix in partnership with Spark Plug Games.

Looking back at PAX East 2014, our favorite gaming experience was none other than Evolve, published by 2K Games and Turtle Rock Studios.  For those at the convention, you probably saw the impressive demo station with the to-scale Monster towering over the crowds (pictured below).  We were happy to see that the setup did not yield a let down, but rather, an original gaming experience that will change online gaming on PS4, XBox One, and PC in Fall 2014.
