Today Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment announced (via 1UP) that a closed beta is beginning for Stargate Worlds on October 15. The slots for this round of the beta are apparently already filled, so the industrious lot who desire to get in on some Stargate MMO action will have to hound the official website and register for a future opportunity to see the game in action.
Stargate Worlds has been in development since mid 2005 and according to Cheyenne Mountain’s page, is based on the popular television series Stargate SG-1. The game will feature combat, stealth, crafting and pointless grinding for hours on end.
I haven’t the slightest idea what Stargate is all about. I know it has something to do with a time machine that looks like a wedding ring with Jello hanging out of back it. I also know there’s a mean looking alien with a moon tattoo on his forehead who carries some kind of lightning stick. Sounds exciting, but I don’t know if there’s much of a market for it. Are any of you interested in this?
