Stargate Worlds: The next big MMORPG?

October 3rd, 2006 cyprix 1 comment

Trolling through the ‘net as usual, only to find that Stargate SG-1 has been cancelled! I think I may be that last to know. However I did find a new game in development that will continue my stargate passion alondside Stargate Atlantis. Stargate Worlds.

The Basics:

  • MMORPG – Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (a mouthful but hence the acronym)
    • Like WoW(World of Warcraft), Ultima Online, Planeshift
  • Developers: Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment
  • Based on the Unreal 3 Engine
  • 50:50 on 4-man squad & single player
  • Stays “true” to SG-1 & Atlantis

As always with TV to game adaptions, there is some trepidation. However being led up by game veteran Joe Ybarra, and with the input/approval of the Stargate writers & actors, there is hope for game yet.

I’ll be keeping an eye on the development process throught the developer blog and the community site.

View the few screenshots here.
