An EA development studio, Origin Systems, today announced that they are working on a next generation Ultima game. Ultima X: Odyssey, a massively multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG), is scheduled for release sometime this winter.
UXO should bring the Ultima series to the next level, with graphics coming from the latest Unreal engine. A proprietary adventure system allows players to go on private quests and adventures, with no interruptions from others. The combat will be inreal time, with skill as well as character development deciding the winner. Players can also fight in specially designed private zones.
Character development continues to use the popular Virtues system, with 8 Virtues to master and the bonus of becoming an Avatar if you master them all. More customization than ever is available for things like weapons, armour, and the characters themselves. UXO looks set to share the popularity of the other Ultima titles, and is shaping up to be far more than just a simple update.
