Ultima Revival on the Horizon as Garriott Targets Copyright Return
EA renewed trademarks for Ultima, while creator Richard Garriott says he intends to reclaim the original game's copyrights in 2027 (35 years after EA acquired them), potentially enabling new Ultima material under a renamed banner; trademarks mean he can't simply release a game called Ultima, and Garriott plans to share more at Dragon Con.
