If you look through the brief notes for Publish 116 — the latest (as of September 2023) content bundle for Ultima Online — you might take note of one line item in particular:

– All veteran characters 30-days or older logging in between Friday, September 1, 2023 12:01:00 AM GMT-04:00 and Sunday, October 15, 2023 11:59:00 PM GMT-04:00 will receive a 26th anniversary gift bag

– The bag will contain a 26th Anniversary card from a member of the Dev, GM, or EM team as well as a token to redeem a collectible wall poster

– Wall posters showcase box art from all Ultima & Ultima Online releases over the years

– The older the game, expansion, or booster’s release date – the more rare it is to obtain

These are all part of the 26th anniversary rewards that are being introduced to UO. And thanks to Ceearrbee, we have a screenshot now of how at least some of the wall posters look in-game. Not the complete set, alas, but Ultima 4, Ultima 5, Ultima 7, Ultima 8, and Ultima 9 are all represented in the image above.

The First Age of Update: If you’re curious, you can see all of the different box art wall posters over at UO-CAH’s datamining page for Publish 116.
