Greetings,
For 27 years Ultima Online has defined the MMO genre and become cornerstone to the magic players can experience in these legendary worlds. This milestone would not be possible without the dedicated players who call Britannia home, and from the bottom of our hearts we thank you for nearly three decades of dedication and support!
For the first time in over 15 years we will be introducing a new shard – Ultima Online: New Legacy. For the past 8 weeks players have taken a first look at this new shard. Today New Legacy will open for it’s final beta period before final wipe and launch. Players will have one week to give the shard a final test run before launch. We want to thank all the beta testers who have taken the time to provide feedback as we bring the best version of New Legacy forward!
We are also pleased to announce a new live event series coming to production over the next several months, Echoes of the Blighted Realm. This event series will arrive in three parts:
Coming October 2024
- Shadow’s Awakening – Deep within the Lycaeum a misguided mage dares to toil with the dark magics of necromancy. A sinister plot to poison the lands of Sosaria with undead rot will lead to adventure and treasures to be found!
Coming November 2024
- Shattered Sanctum – Crisis sweeps the realm as Cultists unleash their fury upon the lands. Take up your blade, ready your bow, and cast a spell to defend against this undead invasion!
Coming February 2025
- Eclipsed Dawn – The struggle and strife have reached a tipping point. The final battle will determine the fate of Britannia and her people. Will you heed the call?
We are extremely excited to share these stories with you over the next several months! Keep an eye on UO.com for future updates.
See you in Britannia,
UO Team
