There’s been a lot of talk lately about new and bold MMOs, ones which feature angel-people, Jedi and pandas. But what about games that feature real-ass gaming industry visionaries operating under a pseudonym? More specifically: What about Lord British? His reign may not have come to an end quite yet: In an interview with Eurogamer, Richard Garriott explained that he’s currently talking to EA about publishing a new entry in the Ultima Online franchise.
“I would love to have access to the Ultima property,” Garriott explained. “We’ve had discussions at very high levels with Electronic Arts about access to the property.” He explained that “counter-forces” at the company have been hesitant about such an undertaking, adding, “So far we’ve not put a deal together, but of course, yeah, I would be very open to it.” Check out the full interview for what Garriott has in mind besides medieval real estate and spaceships.
