10 Ways To Bring Back Firefly

8. An RPG Video Game

This one would be much harder to pull off, but it would have a lot of potential.

Another sci-fi franchise that has died a resounding and disappointing death could teach Firefly a few lessons here.

Mass Effect was nailing the open-world sci-fi RPG genre, until it flopped over and gave us a dead fish ending, and then dumped spin-off Andromeda on us in a misguided attempt to limp on.

But consider the action and the capacity for teamwork possibly by jumping off this framework: choosing your landing party, liberating some cargo and then engaging in some space smuggling would make for edge-of-the-seat gameplay.

When you then factor in the open-world appeal of the Red Dead Redemption series and its Western setting, a Firefly game might just fill a hole for more than one fan base.

After all, who wouldn't want to ride a horse into their own loading bay before going full-burn into the farthest reaches of space?
