PC - Stargate Worlds - Stargate Worlds dev not afraid to delay game FireSky head Dan Elggren told VideoGamer.com in a Leipzig Games Convention interview that if Stargate Worlds ends up as a "stinker that's not ready" the company may close down.

The game is currently scheduled for a Q1 2009 release.

He said: "For us as a start up I don't have seven other products behind me right now that are going to be making money for this company. So if I release a stinker that's not ready it doesn't do anybody any good and my company closes down. So I want to make sure that what we launch at day one is solid, it's fun to play and it's gone through those cycles. And so if it comes down to it that we need to slip it to make sure that we have that iteration we'll do that."

Subscribers can expect a level cap increase from 50 to 52, new story lines, new worlds, new abilities and new armour sets, all for free.

He told VideoGamer.com: "We're actually adding post-live content. We're actually developing some of that post-live content before we launch. That's going to consist of new story lines, new worlds, new creatures to fight, as well as we're looking at adding two more levels, so going from 51, 52 and then so on and so forth. So that's new abilities, new armour sets and new ways of exploring the universe as well."

Content of this type, categorised as mini episodes and seasons, will be free, Elggren confirmed.

Elggrin said: "If we move to Atlantis or another universe, then we'll have a boxed Atlantis expansion. But mini episodes and seasons, that's going to be free content that we're just going to hand out."

PC - Stargate Worlds - Stargate Worlds open beta planned Stargate Worlds developer FireSky is planning an open beta for just before the game's launch, slated for early 2009.

When asked if the team was planning an open beta, studio head Dan Elggren replied: "Yeah. I want to do that just before launch. To me you've got to have a pretty solid product when you go into open beta."

He added: "Age of Conan, I mean they had a miracle patch at launch. I tried their open beta and I was like, 'oh! What is this?!' But then they launched the game. I want to be able to go out there with open beta as like a great way to market the game and for people to play it and have a positive experience that they want to now go buy the game."
