From Slitherine
Stargate: Timekeepers departs from the end of season 7 of the Stargate SG-1 main plot to create an original story, unfolding over 14 narrative-rich missions. Your adventure starts during the Battle of Antarctica, where Commander Eva McCain and her team are supporting the SG-1 against Anubis’s fleet.
Sometime later, Eva and her team of specialists are tasked with a new mission in the Stargate universe: help the Jaffa Resistance, prevent brutal rituals, strike against Moloc’s army, and seek an alliance with the Unas.
During the fight against a new power hungry Goa’uld system lord, Dolus, the team gets stuck in a timeloop! How to break the loop and turn the tables in their favour is up to you. In Stargate: Timekeepers choices matter -- the adventure has multiple potential outcomes: using other worldly tech, travel back in time and replay the missions to shape your heroes’ destiny.

NOTES
- Stargate: Timekeepers is a real-time tactics game set in the aftermath of Stargate SG-1's seventh season finale, "Lost City." The game is expected to be released in the second half of 2023. Read the full announcement here.
- Slitherine describes the real-time tactics genre that Stargate: Timekeepers is aiming for as akin to strategy games like Desparados 3 and Shadow Tactics. The game will also focus on telling original stories set in the Stargate universe.
- Characters on your Stargate Command team include specialists with unique abilities. Colonel Eva McCain is strong in hand-to-hand combat, stealth, and the use of automatic rifles, while Max Bolton is a sniper with the ability to climb difficult surfaces and reach those perfect loft positions. Sam Watson is an expert in alien technology. And Derreck Harper pilots a series of very helpful drones (which can perform tasks such as healing allies).
This core team from Earth will recruit allies along the way, including the Jaffa rebel and thief A’ta, and the Unas Xugga. - The game is comprised of 14 missions (or "episodes"), each of which will take experienced players over an hour on average, the game's producer says. The first seven missions (or "episodes") released together as Part 1 include:
- Episode 1: Battle of Antarctica
Episode 2: Resistance
Episode 3: In Plain Sight
Episode 4: Crossfire
Episode 5: A Hiding Place
Episode 6: Grand Larceny
Episode 7: Circles
