The Ultima 6 Project is nearing completion, and the scope of the project is such that we’re going to have to cut back on some non-critical items in order to be able to complete the game with our current resources. The final release will not have all the music or portraits completed. We are therefore asking the community to contribute portraits and music, and will host a site for them to be shared. Instructions on adding them to the game will be provided, along with the list of NPC’s needing portraits, and the areas needing music. In the meantime, any musicians or portrait artists who would like to join the team would be most welcome. We are also looking for play testers to help us find bugs so we can get rid of them.

The team is currently working madly to finish the Milestone 6 (M6) release, which is scheduled for the April time frame. Since the M5 release, the gargoyle lands and all the Britannia dungeons have been built, and the last three Gargoyle dungeons are in the process of being completed. The world is now huge, and a small preview of some of the new areas you’ll be able to explore is provided below.​
