Electronic Arts Files 2 Ultima Trademarks for Online and Downloadable Games
2 articles · Updated · VICE · Jun 16
Summary
Two new Ultima trademark filings surfaced this week, with Electronic Arts seeking protection for online computer games and downloadable video games.
The filings cover Class 0411 and Class 0092, a scope that suggests EA is preserving or preparing the franchise for modern gaming formats.
EA has not announced any Ultima project, and the series was absent from Summer Game Fest and other industry showcases last week.
Ultima has been largely dormant since 1999's Ultima IX: Ascension, leaving the filings as the first notable sign of movement around the RPG franchise in decades.
