Electronic Arts announced that it is developing Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar, a cross-platform iPad and PC, at BioWare Mythic. This free-to-play game seems to be a recreation of Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar that will meld both storytelling and action RPG elements into a brand new title set in Britannia.
“There’s a fundamental shift underway in how gamers play and pay for games, and Electronic Arts is a leader in providing new business models and new ways to consume content,” said Dr. Ray Muzyka, GM of BioWare. “With Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar, we’re excited to give gamers the opportunity to play a high quality game with their friends anytime, anywhere, on both iPad and PC.”
“As huge fans of the Ultima franchise, the team at BioWare Mythic is not only excited to be able to bring this reimagining of the original rich world to the fans of the classic RPGs, but also to introduce a new generation of gamers who have never had a chance to discover why this is one of our industry’s most beloved worlds,” added BioWare Mythic GM, Eugene Evans.
