Creator Richard Garriott has spoken out on Twitter about EA's rejection of his Ultima Remaster. An inquiring fan of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:RPG series asked Garriott if he had♏ ever thought of a remake to which he replied his disappointment.
Showing enthusiasm for a modern remaster of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ultima 1-8, Zellar_Nyte pitched the question to the creator last night. Answering the fan in short, Garriott conceded "I would... EA wouldn't let me. We have tried." "We" could be referring to designers Warren Spector, Ralph Koster and Tim Stellmach whose hope of any Ultima revival has been shot down by EA. Garriot has been tagged in a number of Ultima related tweets, with players eager to be a part of anything related to the open-world ⛎fantasy.
Followers of the creator expressed their dismay at EA's denial. Most comments included an offer of money to purchase the IP from the American company while others thought it was a wasted opportunity for the publishers. Whispers of a television show circulated the thread, as Ultima's loyal fans d⛎iscussed any possibilities of rei♔gniting the franchise.
Ultima began its CRPG journey in 1981, known as one of the first games to establish the genre alongside Wizardry and Might and Magic. The main series ran until 1999 producing ten titles that spawned a number of spin-off games along the way. The last official release in the franchise was 2012's Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar that was taken offline in 2014. The successful 1997 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:MMORPG Ultima Online is stil♒l available to play online through the official .
Shroud of the Avatar is Richard Garriott's current project, aptly titled to follow on from Ultima's last entry into the series. The sacred successor of the Ultima series has been running since 2014 with Garriott leading the team as creative director. SotA did not reach the triumphant heights of its predecessor with players criticiꦗzing Garriott's inability to focus on one style for his follow up game.
Despite the fate of a series revival being out of Garriott's control, Ultima Online's lead designer Ralph Koster could be saving the day some time soon. Speaking to last year, Koster announced that he had raised $2.7 million to develop 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a new sandbox MMO from his new studio, Playable Worlds. A promising future for Ultima fans who are happy to except new RPG experiences whi꧑le laying their treasured franchise to rest.
