Fall of a remake

3rd January 2003 by Dino

Although many people will not believe it unless they see it, it happens to be that the remake you would have least expected to give up - Ultima 1 - A Legend is Reborn - will no longer be an Ultima remake due to legal issues with Electronic Arts. Hacki's Ultima Page also announced an extract of the announcement that Telemachos made on the Ultima 1 forums. It is all explained in that thread. This does not mean that Peroxide are dropping their current project; it just will not be an Ultima. In fact, their project is now called Era: The Arken-Throne, and might become commercial. Bad news, I know, but this gave Peroxide more flexibility in their current project, and they no longer have to worry about legal issues with EA.

This is definately the worst news I've ever announced on Dino's Ultima Page. And to think it's the first update of the year!

Speaking of falling remakes, I noticed from some time that the U6 Project website is down, and Eriadain looks pretty dead, having not been updated since July 31st of last year.
