Just discovered it this morning. Looks like EA and Bioware are trying to bring back the feel of the classic Ultima 4 game. I read an article earlier in the year about how the game is considered a classic, yet most newer generations of gamers see it as unplayable. It sparked me to do a remake using RPG maker VX. It looks like someone with Intellectual Property rights has beat me to it!
The game is intended to be Ultima 4 like, rather than a remake. I'm told it is set a few years after the original and encourages the player to again take up the quest of the Avatar. The focus is to be the same as the intent of the original: personal enlightenment and being a good guy. (Instead of running around taking everything that isn't nailed down.)
Anyway, they are taking sign ups for beta at the link above, for anyone who may be interested.
