The Orville

Today Warcraft by WotC may be possible. It is a very known franchise, but not Blizzards is not in its best days of glory.

Gamma World may be possible, but the game designers need a lot of work with the crunch. If there are videogames of Mutant: Year Zero and Fallout, why not Gamma World?

My dream would be Fortnite: Save the World, the original cooperative, about tower defenses against the husks and mist monsters, not the superfamous Battle Royal.

There is a homebred versions of Star Wars 5e, with a very decent look, very I suspect Disney will publish its own Star Wars RPG after Marvel.

"Pirates of the Dark Waters" was an old cartoon with a look close to Dark Sun, but in the sea.

They were opposite in the sense one was about adventures in the sea and the other in a totally dry dessert, but the fashion, the clothing, looked like designed by the same tailor.

Some franchises are good stories, but horrible as setting where the main characters are different.

Final Fantasy because FF1 is just a Literal DnD game, and most of the iconic items, and monsters in Final Fantasy are just from DnD

Take another whack at Four Elements Monk, WotC.

They did, it was the Sun Soul. They are more likely to overhaul the Class entirely in the revision.
