Stargate Timekeepers will be available on Steam and GOG, but there’s no release date just yet. Let’s just hope it doesn’t turn out like that other real-time tactics sci-fi tie-in, the poorly received Star Trek: Away Team. Stargate: Timekeepers’ choice of genre is an inspired fit for the team-based episodic missions seen in SG1, so I’m keeping my peepers peeled for this one. Resistance’s developer Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment was also working on a Stargate MMO at the same time, but that was eventually cancelled, and the franchise has lain dormant ever since. The last Stargate game was 2010’s third-person shooter Stargate: Resistance, but that one ended up getting a bit legal and the servers were shut down after a year. McKenna revealed two new characters in this mission: Max Bolton, a gruff sniper, and Sam Watson, who uses a ‘mimetic scanner’ to copy the appearance of enemies. That’s exactly what the Timekeepers team tried to stop in the Siltherine stream. This is where SG1’s influence lands, because Moloc was a Goa’uld system lord in the show who liked to sacrifice children in a ‘ceremony of fire’. The weapon provides a great damage output with the highest crits compared with the other weapons in. The mission shown, In Plain Sight, was a flashback to how two characters met in a fairly dingy place called Moloc’s domain. The Sniper is equipped with a long-short rifle and specializes in long-range shooting. McKenna said missions take place on “big ol’ maps” and will last much longer than the 45-minute segment Slitherine had for Timekeepers on the stream. What was shown in the stream came from later in the campaign than those two missions. In December, developers Creative Forge showed off the icy climes of the aftermath of SG1’s infamous Battle of Antarctica on Earth, and a second planet that looked like those forests from virtually all early episodes of the show. Your team of Stargaters has to travel to different worlds to take on the nefarious Goa’uld.
