EA launches Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar on iOS worldwide

Electronic Arts has announced the worldwide launch of Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar on iOS. The spiritual successor to Ultima 4 is a real-time cooperative RPG, inspired by the 30-year history of the original Ultima franchise.

Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar is set 21 years after the events of Ultima 4, and sees the world of Britannia being slowly taken over by a plague called the Black Weep. The disease instills fear in its victims and corrupts the most honorable humans it touches, forcing Lady British to call for a group of new heroes that can save the land before the Black Weep can take over the entire world.

Throughout the game, players are challenged with completing quests and can meet other real-world players in real time, forming parties of up to four players before exploring dungeons and defeating enemies.
