Ultima X Odyssey Cancelled

[Jun 30, 2004, 10:19 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Ultima X Odyssey Cancelled on GameSpy has news that the upcoming Unreal-engine MMORPG set in the Ultima universe has gotten the axe. Word is there will be no layoffs associated with the cancellation, as the staff from the project are shifted to Ultima Online. Further: "A spokesperson said the game was cancelled so Electronic Arts could focus its resources on the existing game, including a new (and as yet unannounced) expansion pack that will be officially announced later this month at EA's upcoming press event."

It wont be that hard for EQ2 to beat WOW when people play it and realize they are playing everquest with cartoon graphics and less races and classes.

I don't know about the gameplay, which is where it really counts... but graphically, EQ2 is breathtaking, while WoW is sure to be a hit with the preschoolers. I'm not saying this to be piss off WoW fans, but think about it... A MMORPG that looks like a cartoon is sure to attract a lot of kids.

Just take a look at these screenshots:
