Will there ever be another single player Ultima RPG?

[♀⛤WitchyWoman⛤♀]

As a girl who got her feet wet playing all the classic Ultima games 1 to 8 I have to wonder if we will ever see another dedicated single player Ultima RPG. I would so love to see a modern game in the fashion of Ultima 7. These games are some that are at the top of my RPG list. Yes even the dreaded Ultima 8 Pagan. I completed it! LOL

I'm just not interested at all in online games, all the hours spent grinding and other stuff you are not stuck doing in an offline experience. Ive tried all the big MMORPGS (Yes I even tried Ultima Online) and while some are good they just do not keep me interested like an offline RPG does.

Rumor has it there is another single player Ultima RPG in the works...it's well known that both Larian Studios and Obsidian Entertainment want to license the IP and do another one...

Woot! Great news

Ultima 8 was a letdown, but I was much more disappointed by Ultima 9. Especially after all those things that were promised to us... a party, dragon riding, NPC schedules, a big world, high interactivity... I am very sad that Ultima 9 never became the game that was announced after Ultima 8...
But I hope that SotA will deliver a great single player experience that is similar to the older Ultimas - especially Ultima 7.

I did but I can tell you it took a few weeks. Prolly one of the longest games I ever kept coming back to finish. It was a headache on many occasions.This was back in its old EA box form.

andreas I never played 9 for those reasons.

It's highly unlikely EA will release the Ultima IP for someone else's commercial use, and given the difficulty Mythic had making U4E it's just as unlikely we'll see them produce another Ultima game.

Best case scenario is that someone makes a spiritual successor and manages to capture the soul of what the original series was, even if they can't use any familiar names. That's what some people are/were hoping of SotA.

EA is aware of the immense success of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim with over 20 million sold copies. Also The Witcher 3 shows how successful SP-RPGs can be. I doubt that they want to miss this market.

Shroud of the Avatar will have an offline single player mode.... So yes, there is an offline singleplayer ultima in the works...

Mina,

I am a huge huge ultima fan. I have played ultimas since the child hood days in the early 80s. I found joy in all of them even 9. Shroud of the Avatar will have an offline ultima like RPG. I hope this helps. :) Let me know of you ever want to play an rpg together. Have a good one.

I have never liked the mechanics of online RPG's The majority of them are grind fests to keep you into the game. Im an old school gamer. My brothers and I used to map out duengeons in the old days while the other played (bards tale, etc) Online just does have the immersion I like and they just keep going and going. If I want an RPG that keeps going Ill play Skyrim with mods. When AI is done right you don't need human players. Thats just my opinion and what I prefer. Its what I grew up with. The RPG greats like this series,Darklands and others.....I look forward to the SP side of this game. We shall see! :) Mina

the new larian game divinity original sin has a lot of U7 mechnanics and its a solid single player rpg as well imo

[andreas.bertits]

EA should work with CD Projekt Red and let them create a new Ultima single player game :)

I'm completely down with this. I remember the ultimas fondly and the original UO with something less given that yes, I was working, wasted a good deal of my free time over several weeks crafting for money only to be one hit kilt by an ivis whatver in UO. Promptly cancelled my account and never looked back.

OTOH I also pre-ordered UIX and we all know what that was vying with super avatar world(UVIII) for the worst Ultima evar, although IMNHO UIX score points with 3D and closer to Ultima play in every way shape and form than super avatar world(jump jump jump and a entirely borked jumping system to boot.)...
