Stargate Worlds (abbreviated as SGW) was a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) video game in-development by Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment (CME) in association with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and published by FireSky for Microsoft Windows. The game's setting was mainly borrowed from military science fiction series Stargate SG-1. The game was to focus on a premise set around an ancient device called the "Stargate".
In 2006, both CME and MGM announced the release of a video game set in the Stargate Universe. In 2008, FireSky announced its participation in the process of releasing Stargate Worlds. On March 25, 2010, FireSky announced on their website that CME/CMG had entered receivership. As a result production on the game ceased. The estimated release date was never revealed before cancelation.The license agreement between CME and MGM expired on November 16, 2010, and the Stargate: Resistance servers shut down on January 15, 2011. In 2012 it was reported that development was canceled with at least two investor lawsuits filed against the former chairman and CEO of CME, Gary Whiting, and other former executives.
