Visit Britannia, slay everything for XP.

In Ultima Forever, players are able to fly in hot air balloons over mountain ranges, sail across oceans, survive storms, fight against sea monsters, and collect the eight Virtues.

From what I read at Rock Paper Shotgun, Ultima Forever doesn't sound like Ultima at all. It's got the name and some of the lore but the game may be very different. I'll be keeping an eye on it but for now I'm not very excited. I do hope they get it right though, I really do.
