Cancelled Games



Like many game developers, Origin had many cancelled products.


 * Ultima IV: Part II – not to be confused with the fan-made parody 'Ultima IV Part 2', this direct follow-up to 'Ultima IV' was supposed to be released by Christmas 1986.


 * Multiplayer Ultima – long before 'Ultima Online' there were references to this being worked on after the release of 'Ultima V' which was described as a strategy game and, later, to another version using the 'Ultima VI' engine.


 * Mythos: Caribbean Pirates and Legends from Greece – also used the 'Ultima VI' engine.


 * Unnamed Pencil and Paper Ultima.


 * Arthurian Legends (originally Worlds of Ultima: Arthurian Legends) – used the 'Ultima VII' engine. However, other than that, there would've been little in common with the series.


 * Ultima Underworld III – was to have made the Underworld series a trilogy.


 * The Lost Vale – an add-on to 'Ultima VIII'. It was actually finished, but Electronic Arts decided to not ship it, and the data got lost at a later date.


 * 'Ultima Online 2' – a sequel to 'Ultima Online'. It got canned after already lots of development was done.


 * 'Ultima X: Odyssey' – although an online game, it was a continuation of the Ultima plot following 'Ultima IX'. It got cancelled without any reason.
