New Stargate Worlds MMO PC game will use Unreal Engine 3
Epic and Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment announced their upcoming PC Massive Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) Stargate Worlds will use the Unreal Engine 3 technology. Players will be able to play as part of the SGC (Stargate Command) or the System Lords (the evil Goa’uld) and also features the Tok’ra and the Ori. And all will look very pretty with the Unreal Engine 3.
The universe evolves as players inhabit and vie for control over alien worlds. Local populations will shift their allegiance between the two alliances. Outside threats, such as the Ori, will conspire to further change the face of these worlds. Players will be able to tip the balance of power on these worlds, beating back the Ori invasion, and swaying the local populations to their side through quests, combat and trade. Whether you are a solitary explorer, master tradesman, or commander of a massive armed force, your every action will alter the worlds of the Stargate universe.
Aside from that press release quote, 1UP also mentions the MMOG will combine the Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis mythos! The release date is set for late 2007, which should make for a nice replacement of the ending Stargate SG-1 series.
