Although it may not come as a surprise to many observers, EA has killed their MMORPG project 'Ultima X: Odyssey'. UXO was to run alongside Ultima Online and was intended as a semi spiritual successor to the Ultima single-player series but the signs have not been good since EA closed Origin Systems many months ago. Here's the announcement at the official site:Dear Ultima X: Odyssey community members,
As of today, development on Ultima X: Odyssey has ended. We feel that Ultima Online is where we need to focus our online efforts and most of my team will be moving to the UO expansion pack, the UO live team, and an unannounced Ultima Online project. Development on UO will be greatly enhanced as we consolidate our resources behind that franchise.
This isn't an easy decision but it’s the right move for the future of all things Ultima, including the community and the team. We look forward to sharing our plans for the future of Ultima Online very soon.
I would like to thank all of the Ultima X: Odyssey supporters who have been with us from the beginning. I hope you will continue to support the Ultima franchise and the development team as they transition to new projects.
Thank you,
David "InQWis" Yee
Producer, Ultima X: Odyssey There's also an article at Gamespot that provides a little background. Thanks, Amelia. |
