I seem to recall hearing that they were branching from SG-1 continuity sometime a few years back - if I recall, the Tollan homeworld is announced for the game which means the game would be set before it was destroyed by Anubis, so no Atlantis, no Ori, and I don't remember exactly how much in the way of free Jaffa (though I'm presuming that's where the playable Jaffa will come from - I'm not even going to ask how the heck they justify playable Asgard).

I always wish every new game the best, cause more playable options is a good thing for everyone. I especially wish this one the best, cause I like the license. But realistically, I'm concerned. The fact that they're licensing an engine helps a lot, but even so, it would be quite a feat for a brand new studio's first release to come in on time and in an acceptable state for retail (many major releases by companies who have previous hit MMORPG's fall shy of one or both bars).
