Stargate Resistance

Stargate Resistance is an online, third-person shooter currently in the final stages of development. Firesky and Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment, the studio behind the financially troubled but still-in-production MMO role-playing game Stargate Worlds, is working on a second video game title, they announced today. The game will be released in the first quarter of 2010, according to the site.

Plot
Over the last decade, the SGC has spread Earth’s influence throughout the galaxy, freeing enslaved peoples and developing a free Galactic culture of humanity once enslaved by the System Lords. But the System Lords do not accept this change in the status quo. Intent on regaining what they once held, the new System Lords are beginning an organized assault on key locations throughout the galaxy. Their goals are to drive out the SGC and re-enslave these "lost" populations.

The System Lords will not stop at conquering a handful of worlds. As their dominion increases they will push resistance all the way back to Earth, and enslave all of humanity. The SGC must defend each of these worlds, engaging the System Lords with carefully-placed strike teams to defeat their plans. It will take all the knowledge, cunning, and experience the humans can muster, for the foe is relentless and their armies never-ending!

Overview
Resistance will let players take on the role of Stargate Command or the Goa’uld System Lords, with the fate of the galaxy in the balance. There are six character classes: Soldiers, Commandos, and Scientists on the SGC side, and Goa’uld, Jaffa, and Ashrak assassins on the side of the System Lords. Each class will come with its own unique blend of weapons, items, and weaknesses. Players will be able to work with teammates in three multiplayer modes (up to 16 players at once): “Team Death Match,” “Capture the Tech,” and “Domination.” Additional game modes are planned for release shortly after the game’s launch. The game will be available for the PC only, and is powered by the Unreal 3 engine. It will be open to future expansion packs.

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.”
