Incoming wormhole - Stargate Worlds details inbound |
Ó
Unscheduled off-world activation! Yes, that's right, we've received a message from Arizona-based developer Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment today giving us more details on the upcoming Stargate-based MMORPG, Stargate Worlds. This comes at just the right time, with the final episode of Stargate SG-1 airing as I write this article. And just so you know, when the amazing series ends, the show will be followed by feature-length films due to be released in Q4 of this year at around the same time as the Stargate Worlds beta.
Don't be expecting any Ori-beating action in this game though, as according to Cheyenne Mountain frontman Joe Ybarra, the game will take place across seasons three, four, five, six, seven, and eight of the TV show's run. It'll be authentic too, with the development team having full access to Stargate costumes, weapons and sets including the city of Atlantis. The map is going to be huuge (yes, with an extra "u"), with as many worlds as humanly possible being modeled to create the ultimate MMO experience.
However, the aim of this game isn't to be an amazingly-high-levelled player; according to Ybarra it will be relatively easy for players to level up and hit the level limit, and the focus will be on PvP and quests. Combat will take place in orbit, on planets, and using RTS-style command-and-conquer gameplay; but if you're not into all that you could chose to be a Scientist instead of a budding Teal'c and play mini games in order to develop new scientific methods and inventions.
If you are a Stargate fan then you'll be happy to hear that members of the SG-1 and Atlantis series are interested in helping out with development and appearing in the game at some point. Lets just hope that Jack O'Neil (Richard Dean Anderson) will be on hand to make a guest appearance!
Oh and by the way, I hope you've enjoyed reading this because I am in fact an avid Stargate fan and have taken the time to write this, in turn missing the worldwide premiere of last ever episode of Stargate SG-1. Luckily my HD-R has caught the episode for me! The things we writers put ourselves through...

You are indeed a very noble knight worthy of Arthurs inner circle (maybe next to Merlin or Michael Shanks as he is known) LOL. The last episode of SG-1 has some crazy ideas. Especially the stuff about the Asgard, hmmm shall we say giving us "things" (thats for our US viewers who are a leetle bit behind) Anyhoo the game sounds good finally something to keep us all living in the Stargate universe for all of eternity, this game is a bit like ascension if you will, only without the 100% utilisation of the brain of course!
This game is an RTS! Thats so lame its not even funny.
