No word — yet — on potential Android or PC release dates, but the Ultima Forever Twitter feed has offered a couple of insights into what is upcoming, in the immediate sense, for the game…such as performance optimizations (which will hopefully bring the iPhone 4 into the game’s performance envelope):
