Gameplay
Players assume the roles of spaceship captains, assembling crews, completing missions, and trading with others. The game will contain a central story alongside various branching stories, and players will be able to create jobs for each other to complete. Players will be able to customize their ships while playing, and view "in-universe guides" around planets which provide information on them. Furthermore, both space and planetary environments will exist. The game will contain over 200 worlds to visit. Players will assemble a crew, and will need to choose crew members who possess the skills and abilities they need, such as engineering or weaponry skills.
Development
Prior to the announcement of an official title, a fan made game titled Firefly Universe Online was being developed by DarkCryo. Fox gave their well wishes to the game, but the development studio ceased development on the game following the announcement of the official release based on the Firefly franchise. Firefly Online was announced at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con as being released on iOS and Android. It was later announced for Microsoft Windows and macOS. QMx Interactive joined Spark Plug Games to produce the game. Joss Whedon, creator of the series, is not involved with the development of the game but is aware of it. The development team is planning to add future downloadable content which may include the ability to switch to the Alliance faction, inclusion of "Reavers", and is aiming to include cross-platform functionality. The PC versions will be distributed via Steam.
Gameplay of Firefly Online was shown at the 2014 San Diego Comic Con. At that Comic Con it was announced that the original TV series cast will voice their in-game characters, along with a number of cast from the series. Wil Wheaton will be providing the male voice for the player's avatar.
While the game was originally planned for launch in Spring 2015, the developers were required to recreate large amounts of it after the original show's cast were brought on to provide voice acting. John O'Neill, CEO of Spark Plug Games, said that they were having to "change everything" and that they were deliberately not providing development updates to avoid "saying something that’s wrong again."
