MAIN ARTICLE
After many years in development, Stargate Co-Creator and Writer Brad Wright has finally commented on the status and future of the long-awaited Stargate Worlds:
“We don’t know, it’s a shame. If it doesn’t happen — and, let’s be honest, it should be happening now if it was happening. It’s a shame. It’s a terrible shame. They had an opportunity and they got our support, and they obviously had significant funding, and it didn’t happen. It’s kind of a drag for the fans and the time that we invested — what little of it there really was, in comparison to what they did — was still a shame that it was wasted, because it should have happened. Now MGM is back in a position where they don’t have a product in that marketplace that they should. There should be a shiny Stargate game on the shelves right now and there isn’t, and it’s wrong.”
The website days-since-cheyenne-mountain-employees-have-been-paid.com has been recently taken offline. Which many fans hope is a sign of good news. Officially Stargate Worlds is still in development and will eventually be released. When, however is a completely different story.
However, Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment is being sued by IO Capital Princess - a data center business - for an unpaid account. In the event that Stargate Worlds fails, it will be the 2nd Stargate game cancelled. Stargate SG-1: The Alliance was in production by Perception Studios, but was axed in 2005 at the beta stage, due to a dispute with game publishers JoWooD.
In other activities, Stargate Worlds has launched a racing team and posted more screenshots from the game.
