Ultima Forever: Interview with Jeff Skalski at VG247

by WtF Dragon · September 24, 2012

VG24/7 sat down with BioWare Mythic’s Jeff Skalski, the franchise producer for Ultima, to talk about the (massive!) expectations that Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar has to live up to.

He also managed to work in a mention of the rapidly-upcoming 15-year milestone for Ultima Online, and the intrepid group of fans who participated in the early alpha test of Ultima Forever also gets some praise.
