Maybe a sci-fi TTRPG will be published by WotC, but this will be generic, and Exodus one of the settings, in the same way Star*Drive was within Alternity RPG.
I would bet Hasbro would rather a generic sci-fi system to allow different licences. That flexibility should be the right marketing strategy.
The design of a new sci-fi d20 system will need a lot of work, playtest and feedback, but we could find unexpected suprises. For examples players in the feedback ask "transhuman technology" like in "Altered Carbone", but then a DM creates a story where the robots in a prison are really innocent, and their memories to be former criminals are wrong, rewritten to be the scape goat, while the true criminals are free. Or somebody using "surrogates" ( remote-control bots) for suicide terrorist attacks, or some of those ideas appeared in Black Mirror. Maybe in an world there was a robot rebellion, but this was a false flag operation, the rebel AI really was controlled by the "club of the inmortals", psycopath members of the elite whose minds were uploaded to a computer (or said with other words, as if Skynet was only a tool used by the evil organitation SPEKTRA).
