Stargate Worlds is an MMORPG under development by industry newcomer Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment in association with the film and television media company MGM. The game will allow thousands of players to interact in an online universe based around Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis.
Little so far has been released about the game, besides initial ideas and concept art, although one notable feature of the game recently released is that it will be completely canonical, adhering and contributing to the back story of Stargate SG-1. CME has posted on the website that the game is expected to be released at the last quarter of 2008. On January 4, 2008, a TV ad and trailer for Stargate Worlds was released. Also on the same day, a sweepstakes was anounced. The winner will have their likeness included in the game.
Stargate Worlds will be based on the popular science fiction show Stargate SG-1. Original plans were to run it in sync with the show, but the show was recently cancelled, though two direct-to-DVD films are in the making continuing the storyline.
The game will revolve at release around the Milky Way Galaxy, in the fictional storyline of the ongoing conflict between the Tau'ri and Goa'uld. Playable races as shown at this time will include Humans, Goa'uld, Jaffa, and Asgard.
The game will take place in the earlier seasons of the show, before the Atlantis expedition and before the Ori story arc.

One of the key aspects of Stargate Worlds, and what may set it apart from many other MMORPG's will be the combat. While still being an MMORPG the combat will incorporate some elements that are familiar to players of first person shooters. Players will use an array of ranged weaponry of both earth and alien origin. Combat will emphasize tactics to defeat opponents both AI and human controlled. The AI of the enemies in Stargate Worlds will challenge players and be significantly better than that in other current MMORPGs. |
