I don't know how to feel about this just yet but Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment is going Chapter 11, ending development of Stargate Worlds. Here's the official word from FireSky, the dev group of Cheyenne:

Cheyenne Mountain's corporate structure has undergone some dramatic changes in the last few weeks, and that has resulted in various actions such as the filing for Chapter 11. Certain parties believed that was the right thing to do, other parties do not and this is still being evaluated and may be rescinded. Even if the bankruptcy should go through, however, Chapter 11 simply allows a company to restructure its debt to a manageable plan approved by the courts. It does not absolve a company of debt, and it does not shut it down or otherwise affect its daily operations.

This will all be sorted out in the legal and proper manner, and all of us on the development side of things hope it's done as quickly as possible.

That said, our entire staff is in-house working on upgrades and expansions for Stargate Resistance, and we continue to be motivated and excited by the response we've received from our customers.

See you on the battlefield!

I'm a Stargate geek and have been to a convention or two (I said I was a geek) so I'm disappointed by the announcement. The reality is though that with Star Trek Online and BFBC2 taking up the vast majority of my multiplayer time I probably couldn't have played much of this anyway. Still, it's a blow to the Stargate franchise that has become increasingly fractured after the end of SG-1. First they cancel Atlantis, then they launch Universe. It's like Voyager and Enterprise all over again for a geek like me.

Oh well, indeed FireSky, I'll see you on the battlefield, as long as you mean Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Here's a couple of screenshots so you can see what might have been.
