Bad News - Ultima Online 2 and Harpoon 4 Cancelled - briefly
(hx) 03:05 AM CET - Mar,22 2001 - Post a comment
Electronic Arts and Origin Systems have announced a plan that will increase their focus on Ultima Online and halt production of OWO: ORIGIN (UO2). The reason is simple, rather than creating OWO: ORIGIN (UO2) as a parallel world competing with UO, we've decided to put those resources into growing and improving the core offering for Ultima Online's 230,000 loyal subscribers. In the near future and with the release next week of Ultima Online: Third Dawn, players will see new lands, new creatures, and a world that is continually evolving within Ultima Online.
Ultimation's real-time submarine combat simulation, Harpoon 4, has been cancelled, reports The Wargamer. “I really don’t know what will happen… it’s entirely too soon to know,” creator Larry Bond said in response to the recent cancellation. “There is certainly legal stuff to be taken care of. Then, after all the smoke clears, we plan to find another publisher. It was a good idea and a good project when we started it three years ago and it continues to be a good project now.” [ga-source]
