Stargate Worlds additional content plans.

September 14, 2008

The publisher for the Stargate television series MMO game Stargate Worlds has announced that it will be releasing expansion content for free to subscribers while time progresses. In a recent interview they said that they are already working on post-launch content like new worlds, creature and storylines. Plus more character orientated updates like new abilities, ways to explore the universe and armour sets (so no horse armour Oblivion style transaction).

They mentioned that those kinds of additional content would be called “seasons” but there would also be things like the inclusion of Atlantis or those characters as a possibilities but big updates like that would be sold in a retail box. The sales line is that the publisher wants players to get new content for continuing to play and not just patches. This however isn’t really news or anything shocking since every MMO going adds new material and has episode based content updates. City of Heroes is a good example of free story updates and World of Warcraft has enough sold in a box updates to make The Sims blush. The real news is the current estimated release date is still early 2009 with a beta expected before that date, most likely before the end of this year.

The game will be released on PC only so no console users allowed unlike early expectations of a 360-PC crossover title.
