From Stratics:


I was doing some scourging around on a twitter account that was recently found.

In April @UltimaForever was registered.

Doing some research I found a domain whois for UltimaForever.com (Currently it doesn't point anywhere) but I found this information:


Domain Name: ultimaforever.com

Created on..............: Wed, Mar 17, 2010
Expires on..............: Sat, Mar 17, 2012
Record last updated on..: Tue, Mar 15, 2011

Registrant:
Electronic Arts
Domain Hostmaster
209 Redwood Shores Parkway
Redwood City, CA 94065
US
Email: Hostmaster2@ea.com


With some further research I found this site



Overall, it doesn't tell us much except that perhaps EA is going to be willing to put out the older Ultima titles out for grabs somehow soon or at least show some interest in them. (I am hoping that the upcoming Good Old Games (GOG) announcement has EA in it and they'll be coming there.

As for the site, it is obviously at least a bit unfinished, you cannot download Ultima IV. (Which is free to distribute from a few select sites - if you're interested please go here

---

I am actually quite excited about this, Ultima needs some love and we seem to perhaps be getting it. There are rumours of a new, perhaps web based Ultima or perhaps a remake of Ultima IV. We don't know.

Hopefully this is getting the ball rolling onto good things.
