Tabula Rasa, the new game from the creator of the legendary Ultima RPG series has undergone a substantial redesign and is about to be revealed again (re-revealed?) ahead of next month's E3.

Tabula Rasa has been in development at Destination Games, the new studio founded by RPG legend Richard Garriott (also known as Lord British and proud owner of a purpose-built castle), since 2000 and was originally scheduled for a late 2004 release. Over the last year it has gone through several high-profile development problems, including the departure of its lead designer and a total re-think of its direction.
