The End

Und wieder ein Spiel, dass noch vor der Beta in die ewigen Jagdgründe eingeht. Die Entwicklung an "Ultima X: Odyssey" wurde von Electronic Arts offiziell eingestellt. EA hat sich entschieden, ihre Arbeit auf die Weiterentwicklung von Ultima Online zu konzentrieren, und somit wurden alle UXO Entwickler abgezogen, um an der neuen UO Expansion zu arbeiten. (gibt es damit auch ein 3D- Grafikengine-Upgrade? :P ). Hier noch das offizielle Statement von Chris "Binky" Launius (OCM):[more]

Greetings Ultima X: Odyssey Community,

I wanted to give you a status update on Ultima X: Odyssey.

We've decided that in order to focus more resources on upcoming Ultima Online projects, we will permanently suspend the development of Ultima X: Odyssey. We understand that you may be disappointed by this news, but let me assure you that this decision is in the best interest of the franchise.

Members of the UXO development team will be moved to other Ultima Online projects, including an upcoming expansion pack that is due out this winter, as well as another unannounced project.

The overwhelming response to our recently released 7th Anniversary Edition and upcoming expansion pack convinced us to focus more of our development efforts on the future of UO. There are some amazing things in store, and I have never been more excited about what I'm seeing in development for Ultima Online.

"I'd like to thank the fans for their support of Ultima X: Odyssey. It's that kind of passion that has fueled Ultima Online's success for seven years and will continue to drive it for years into the future," said David Yee, Producer of Ultima X: Odyssey.

I have attached the post from David Yee (which will live here: http://www.eagames.com/redesign/games/pccd/uxo/home.jsp) for your review.

Thank you for your support.

I'll see you in Britannia!
