The new Ultima Forever page wasn’t the only surprise to be found at the Mythic Entertainment website today. Their careers page was also very interesting for what it did — and didn’t — mention:

EA Mythic is looking for passionate, talented people willing to help disrupt and redefine the RPG genre in the mobile space. Located just outside of Washington D.C., we are a studio with 15 years of MMORPG heritage, from ‘Dark Age of Camelot’ and ‘Ultima Online’ to ‘Warhammer: Age of Reckoning’. Not content to rest on our laurels, we are building on our experience of creating and maintaining connected, persistent worlds to give us a unique advantage in mobile gaming. Leading the charge into the core RPG market, we’re putting strong IPs on mobile in new and exciting ways.

We provide an open, fun environment that gives individuals an opportunity to learn and grow. We have an on-site gym, tabletop and figure-painting sessions, and a free game rental library. We are located in lush green Fairfax VA, with access to some of the best restaurants, theatre, and museums in the world. (Also, free donuts on Wednesday.)

If you have what it takes to create the future of Mobile, Android and iOS games, come and be a big player in a studio that’s going places.

So it would appear that Mythic are transitioning away from MMORPG and multiplayer PC title development and into the mobile space…with Ultima Forever likely being their flagship game in that regard. And indeed, the EA jobs portal tells the tale: they are currently looking for a mobile game designer and an associate designer.

What does this mean for the future of Ultima Forever on PC, and what does it mean for the future of Ultima Online? Stay tuned.
