The wait is almost over for the legions of Stargate and MMO fans waiting to experience the earlier announced Stargate Worlds Closed Beta test. The gate opens October 15th for the first group of testers.

Stargate fans can pick up their assault rifles and join Op-CORE as they take their first steps in Stargate Worlds. Beta sign ups are live at Stargateworlds.com. More testers will be invited to sign up over time, so it’s not too late to put your name in the selection pool.

“From now until launch, everything we do is about polish and fun,” said Stargate Worlds Studio Head Dan Elggren. “We’ve laid a great foundation for the beta testers and their feedback is a vital part of the game development process.”

Stargate Worlds is scheduled for an early 2009 launch. The game is based on MGM’s Stargate SG-1, the longest running science fiction series in U.S. history ending in season 10, and Stargate Atlantis which will end its 5th season this year.
