Stargate Worlds is a new MMORPG being developed 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.

[edit] Setting

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 it was recently cancelled even though 2 direct-to-DVD films are in the making continuing the storyline. ^[1].

The game will revolve around the Goa'uld and Human Universe, and these characters are the main playable races, but the Asgard are also playable

"From the moment you login, you will feel like you are living in the same world as the TV show."^[2] - Chris Klug, Creative Director of CME

[edit] Expected Playable Races

While the game is in the final stages of pre-production, Chris Klug, the project's Creative Director, mentioned that the game's planned playable races include Humans, Jaffa, Asgard, Symbiotes, and Unas.^[2] Each race will have several different factions. For example, human factions will include the Tau'ri and Offworld Humans; Jaffa factions include the Free Jaffa and Loyal Jaffa; Asgard factions include the Loyal Asgard and Renegade Asgard; and symbiote factions include the Tok'ra and Goa'uld.

A recent post at Ten Ton Hammer [1], has shown that the developers of Stargate Worlds are currently working on the assumption that there will be Humans (Scientist, Archaeologist, Soldier and Commando), Jaffa, Goa'uld and Asgard as playable races/classes.

Recent discussion on the Forums also indicates that it will be likely that you can pick skills or sub-classes later on in the game, and that the archetypes will not be 'cookie cutter' types.
