Mythic’s Sorta-Still-Secret Project Is In Front of BioWare Today!

This tweet by Paul Barnett almost certainly refers to the Ultima project that BioWare Mythic has been working on for the last few months. And by “the Ultima project”, I am referring to the rumoured browser-based Ultima RPG.

Anyhow…it is being presented to BioWare’s “Dr. Ray” (BioWare CEO Ray Muzyka) today.

Granted, the tweet says “tomorrow”. But having been posted thirteen hours ago…well, you can do the math, good Dragons and Dragonettes.

Is this exciting? You bet it’s exciting. I mean, yes, on one hand, it’s just a browser game…but it’s also a full-on RPG that might even be a remake of one of the best Ultima titles ever. It has been crafted by people who are huge Ultima fans. And really, every time I hear another little piece of information about the project and the plans for it, I can’t help but come away thinking that it either is or will soon be a precursor to something even bigger.

My recommendation? Fire up your copy of Ultima 6 and take your Avatar on a pilgrimage to all eight shrines. Alternatively, make as much noise in support of Ultima as you possibly can using whatever online means are available to you. Raise the roof for this one, people!
