Ultima Forever Quest for the Avatar is coming to the PC and iPad in the near future. Contrary to most of the previous entries, this version of the title will be aimed at an online audience. The last time the series saw a major release was with Ultima Online and with EA and Bioware Mythic building things, you can expect the game to hit a pretty solid level of quality, especially since few online games have endings! The online only game will be based loosely off the classic, Ultima IV, in which the main character explores and quests throughout the world to embody 8 virtues to allow them to become the Avatar.
EG:So farewell then, Ultima. The title of developer Mythic and publisher EA's new entry in the series, an iOS-exclusive, free-to-play MMORPG-lite, is Ultima Forever. These words you can visualise chiselled on a gravestone. Make no mistake; this game has the surface of a vibrant fantasy, but it is a grasping and shallow product.
Ultima Forever proves to be a bit of a mixed bag, despite its influence of Ultima IV.
Forbes - Electronic Arts’ free-to-play mobile MMORPG Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar has arrived on iOS. On the surface, Ultima Forever appears to be a shining example of the mobile game coming into its own as a legitimate gaming experience, a wonderful hack-and-slash romp through fantasy fields and dungeons with content tailored from five-minute to five-hour sessions.
