Our primary objectives are to tell a story even more compelling than Ultimas IV-VII, create a virtual world more interactive than Ultima VII, develop deep rich multi-player capabilities beyond combat akin to Ultima Online, and offer a bold new approach to integrate them with “Selective Multi-Player”.
July 12, 2012: Ultima IV lives again in...Ultima Forever
COMIC-CON - Today, EA announced the return of the 1985 role-playing classic Ultima IV, this time in a free-to-play MMO being developed by Bioware Mythic.
There aren't a whole lot of details currently available, yet, but you'll be able to (initially) choose between a fighter and a mage for characters, and that the game will be set in the universe depicted in Ultima IV: Quest For the Avatar.
Other details include:
- This will be a multiplayer game, but won't be an MMO.
- Gameplay will be focused on small-party combat missions. According to EA's Paul Barnett, the gameplay mechanics will be closer to Baldur's Gate's hunting areas.
- The game will be playable on PC and the iPad.
- Ultima Forever will include some of the core themes as Ultima IV, including virtues, classic NPCs (like, hopefully, Iolo), and more.
You can sign up for the beta right here.
- April 19, 2012: Ultima 8 released on GOG.com.
