Tilting Point, AN Games, and Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) have announced that they have brought the beloved sci-fi universe of Stargate to the immersive real-time strategy, massively multiplayer mobile game, Astrokings.
Starting today and continuing through May 26, the first Stargate TV themed limited-time event will bring the rich world of Stargate SG-1 to life in the cosmic MMO conquest of Astrokings with an all-new cross-over narrative and by enabling players to purchase and unlock fan-favorite characters from the SG-1 series, including crew members Samantha Carter, Daniel Jackson, Teal’c and more, along with the signature ship, the Odyssey.
Over the course of nearly 30 years, Stargate has become a cultural phenomenon, capturing the imaginations of sci-fi lovers and inspiring legions of fans around the world. The Stargate franchise includes three TV series, three films, an animated series, and a web series. More than 56 million Stargate DVDs have been sold as well. Living well beyond the screen, Stargate has found its way into games, comic books, trading cards, and more.
“The huge scale of Astrokings and its fantastic galaxy-spanning storylines make it a perfect fit with the Stargate universe, which has been inspiring fans for nearly 30 years,” said Samir Agili, Co-CEO, and president of Tilting Point. “We’re excited to see the huge player base experience this special event with their favorite Stargate characters.”
