Earlier this month, we commented here on the rumoured cancellation of the game's production after JoWood Productions issued a statement decrying the quality of the work done by Perception on Stargate SG-1: The Alliance. This was followed swiftly by a rebuttal from Perception, who stated that they were the licensees and that they were now considering court action against JoWood.
In another turn of events, "Science fiction fans everywhere will rejoice at Stargate SG-1: The Alliance, an authentic interpretation of one of the most beloved sci-fi series ever," said Garry Cole, executive vice-president of Namco Hometek, announcing they had obtained the rights to distribute the troubled game in North America. JoWood Productions, who may themselves now be on the verge of bankruptcy, hold the European rights but after so much wrangling, many fans of the show wonder whether the game will ever actually materialise.
