The story of a Stargate SG-1 video game has had its ups and down. Yesterday a new player stepped in for the ailing Perception, but plan on taking the game a different route.
MGM Interactive and Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment announced an MMORPG based on the cult sci-fi show. The agreement was initially drawn in September 2005, giving Cheyenne time to build "a very talented development team and created some impressive initial art and technology assets."
Joe Ybarra, Vice President of Product Development for Cheyenne, stated that "Today's MMO market challenges developers in many ways. Creating a product that separates itself from the pack requires a unique combination of two elements: a superior game concept implemented by a superior development team. Partnering with MGM Interactive and the Stargate creative team gives us the first, and our team's experience and depth ensures the second. Together we look forward to creating the world's best MMO-RPG."
Travis Rutherford, Executive Vice President of MGM Interactive, added, "We chose to entrust the franchise to Cheyenne because we are confident in their ability to create a triple A Stargate MMO. Together we can give both the Stargate fans and gaming enthusiasts what they want by combining a strong brand, cutting edge technology, exceptional art, usability, and a fantastic game playing experience."
Stargate Worlds, which is how the title is currently billed, will provide players with exploration, adventure and ranged combat set in various historical time periods, alien worlds and outer space. Players will travel through the Stargate in teams to form alliances, trade routes and of course defend Earth from "such hostile forces as the Goa'uld and the Ori."
