Stargate Resistance has a release date of February 10th announced developer Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment (who is also making the troubled MMO based on the series called Stargate Worlds) and publisher FireSky.
Resistance is an online third-person shooter where players can choose one of two factions: The Stargate Command or the Goa’uld System Lords, and battle other players for dominance using Stargate’s to travel.
There are six character classes: Soldiers, Commandos, and Scientists on the SGC side, and Goa’uld, Jaffa, and Ashrak Assassins on the System Lords side.
The game will support up to 16-players at once and players can work in teams in any of the three multiplayer modes: Team Death Match, Capture the Flag and Domination.
Each class will also have it’s own unique mix of weapons, items and stats with various strengths and weaknesses to set them apart from one another and improve strategy.
Here is a preview video for Stargate Resistance.
“Stargate Resistance brings to our fans the kind of gameplay Stargate Worlds never planned to deliver,” said Chris Klug, the game’s creative consultant and the creative director for Stargate Worlds. “Resistance delivers the combat, weapons and tactics seen so often on the show that many of you have been asking for. I know this game will excite fans who have longed to go toe-to-toe with a Jaffa as well as those who always wanted to dominate the galaxy in ways the MMO could only hint at.”
“I want to personally thank everyone for their enthusiasm and support. It’s incredibly exciting to be releasing our first game as a studio, especially with such a great license,” said Shane Hensley, President of the Studio.
