JoWooD announces the cancellation of development of Stargate-SG1: The Alliance, the TV tie-in that was slated for release this October (thanks Frans). The announcement states the work done to date by developer Perception Games "does satisfy neither our quality requirements nor the fans expectations," leading them to conclude "we now simply have lost confidence in their ability to finish this project in time and sufficient quality." The update leaves open the possibility that development on the project may continue elsewhere, and may end up with different target systems:

Following the termination JoWooD has asked for repayment of their investment in development and further expenses. According to our reading of the contract the rights to the title as well as the source code are transferred to JoWooD“. After delivery of the code and assets JoWooD will review the possibility of seeking out developers if it is economically viable to finish the title” reports Michael Paeck, Executive Producer for JoWooD Productions Software AG. “We are, however, not prepared to release anything but a top quality title. Fans of the show as well as gamers would not accept anything less. There are several options to consider, among them potentially moving to next-gen consoles for the title.”
