The game uses a heavily modified and graphically enhanced Unreal 2.5 engine, and fans of the series will immediately recognize certain areas from the TV show.

All of the classic multiplayer modes like Death Match, Capture the Flag, and team variations will be integrated, but there will also be more innovative modes which make use of the unique Stargate setting. The SG1 team is at the heart of Stargate SG1: the Alliance, so co-op is naturally one of the most exciting options available for the game.
