Summary: Stargate Worlds is a science fiction massively multiplayer online role-playing game based on the longest-running science fiction series in U.S. television history, Stargate SG-1.

Stargate Worlds studio head Dan Elggren spoke to CVG about the game: Stargate Worlds 

Tell us what Stargate Worlds is all about?

Dan Elggren: Stargate Worlds is a science fiction massively multiplayer online role-playing game based on the longest-running science fiction series in U.S. television history, Stargate SG-1. It's the only game where Scientists, Archeologists and grey aliens can team up with soldiers, commandos and warriors to save the galaxy.

Stargate Worlds will be a story-driven MMORPG that features modern tactical combat, science fiction weapons and innovative non-combat gameplay through integrated mini-games.

If you're not familiar with Stargate, the concept of the series is fairly simple. Stargates built by an ancient, highly advanced civilization allow near instantaneous travel from planet to planet across the galaxy.

The U.S. military operates Stargate Command from a secret base inside Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado. Stargate teams, like SG-1, travel through the gate to explore other planets and find human and alien civilizations. They also reignite a war with an alien enemy, the Goa'uld, and their warrior servants, the Jaffa.

When you sat down to sketch out the original concept for the game, what were your high level goals and would you say you've achieved or are achieving, what you set out to do?

Elggren: Our high-level goal was to create an authentic Stargate experience that could please the hardcore fans of the series and broaden the audience to people who have never even heard of the series. In fact, a key part of our mission was to expand the Stargate fanbase and increase the overall profile of the franchise.

Are we achieving those goals? We are well on our way to crafting the Stargate experience we want gamers to be a part of. Our creative team, led by Creative Director Chris Klug works extensively with Brad Wright and Robert Cooper, the show creators, to ensure that the story we are writing fits seamlessly into the Stargate canon.
