Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader are getting HD remakes, courtesy of Firefly. The title will support up to 2560×1600 resolution, an HD battlefield view, and content included in Stronghold Warchest and Stronghold Crusader Extreme. The revamp is expected to be released through various digital outlets on November 1. Thanks, D’toid.

Good news, Whedonites – Massively reports a newly-founded developer called Multiverse Foundation has picked up the freely-released source code for the canned Multiverse MMO platform project. The new team is apparently “starting work full-time on the actual MMO creation platform” and will move on securing the rights to Firefly as its first game if fan interest is strong enough.

Thanks, GameFront.

Multiverse, the developer behind planned Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly MMOs, has closed down, citing a lack of “profitable business model”. The company claims to have drawn interest from “thousands” of developers in its line of MMO middleware. Neither of its flagship titles had been shown in detail. TenTonHammer has the full text of the announcement should Multiverse’s domain expire.

That’s about it really. EA DICE’s action game Mirror’s Edge is heavily inspired by Joss Whedon’s TV series, Firefly, writes Gamasutra.

“To be very honest, I’m a big Joss Whedon fan, and a lot of the things in the story of the game came from Firefly and [the feature film adaptation] Serenity,” explained senior producer Owen O’Brien.

Any Firefly fans out there? We’re not.

Mirror’s Edge is out on 360, PS3 and PC, sometime in a dystopian future near you.
