Stargate Worlds announced

Although this partnership between Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment and MGM Interactive started in September 2005, it's only been formally announced today. The two are teaming up to bring Stargate Worlds, a massively multiplayer title set in the Stargate SG-1 universe, to life.

The game is apparently "an MMO that provides players with a form of exploration, adventure and ranged combat set in worlds of historical human time periods, alien environments, and outer space locations". It sounds interesting on paper, but bringing a popular franchise to life as an MMO isn't an easy task.

However, it seems every man and his dog is creating an MMO these days, and it may be hard to get this one right first time.

I hope that this comes out for console. I was kinda disapointed when MGM canceled alliance but this would be just as good!!

Funny, I was just suggesting a couple days ago that the Stargate universe would lend itself well to a MMOG.

Been waiting a long time for a proper Stargate game... Seeing as "Alliance" was cancelled! Grr.

Hoping for the best!

I still can't understand how something as tedious as Stargate SG-1 can stay on TV, while they cancel something as amazing as Firefly. Also, I'm sick of looking at MacGuyver and this huge shiny bastard he hangs with. You know what I'm saying?

#5, Ummmm, Richard Dean Anderson left the show two years ago, and Christopher Judge's character (Teal'c) has since grown hair.

I agree that Stargate would lend itself well to being a MMOG.

Now making stargate a massive multiplayer RPG is perfect for something like stargate, after aliience was canceld i was disapointed but when i heard of this it seemed perfect. Stargate is all about adventure and exploration and making it a massive online game suits it just fine
