Greetings,
With the year drawing to a close, we wanted to take a moment to share a few words before the team steps away for a brief end-of-year break.
2025 has been a year shaped by adventure, creativity, and collaboration throughout Britannia. Whether you joined us for live events, hunted rare rewards, tested your skill in battle, or simply spent time with friends old and new, you helped keep Ultima Online vibrant and alive. For that, we say thank you!
Ultima Online endures because of its community. The stories you tell, the feedback you share, and the passion you bring to the world continue to shape Britannia.
Looking Back
This past year brought meaningful progress across many areas of the game, from quality-of-life improvements and continued bug fixes to important foundational work behind the scenes. Each publish introduced new adventures across Britannia — whether thwarting a draconic invasion, taming a formidable reptilian beast, or discovering fresh reasons to explore familiar lands.
We have been continually inspired by the creativity of the community, from player-run events and roleplay to the countless homes, shops, and gathering places that make Sosaria feel truly alive.
Looking Ahead
As we turn our focus toward 2026, the team remains hard at work shaping what comes next. Our goals continue to honor the legacy of Ultima Online while delivering experiences that feel engaging, rewarding, and worthy of the world you’ve invested so much in. We remain committed to preserving the integrity of the game world and the vision that is Ultima Online.
Work is ongoing across several key areas, including combat, housing, and the continued evolution of New Legacy, alongside new adventures, new rewards, and new moments for the community to share together. Just beyond the horizon, an incredible milestone awaits — 30 years of Ultima Online. This monumental anniversary is already on our minds as we chart Britannia’s course for the future.
Season’s Greetings
Wherever you find yourself this season — gathered around a hearth, traveling the roads of Britannia, or taking a well-earned rest — we hope the holidays bring you peace, joy, and time well spent with those who matter most, both in-game and beyond.
Thank you for another remarkable year in Britannia.
We’ll see you in the new year.
See you in Britannia,
UO Team
