The lineup covers the numbered entries Ultima I through Ultima IX, plus Ultima Underworld 1 and Ultima Underworld II. Each game carries a regular price of 700 yen including tax, and a launch sale cuts that to 350 yen, half price, through November 20. Ultima VII is sold as The Complete Edition and Ultima VIII as the Gold Edition. A bundle collecting all 11 games is also available, discounted 55 percent to 3,465 yen including tax during the same sale window. Ultima is an RPG series developed by Richard Garriott, with the first game released in 1981. Players explore towns and dungeons and meet residents who each have their own stories. The series is known for having a major influence on the development of computer RPGs. The Ultima release sits inside Electronic Arts' Classic Games Revival Sale on Steam, which also includes the Wing Commander series and Road Rash, both of which began distribution at the same time.","whyItMatters":"The back catalog arrives alongside restored Road Rash and Wing Commander editions and 18 other classic EA games on Steam, GOG, and the EA App, so Ultima is one piece of a wider publisher-wide reissue rather than a standalone rerelease.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eElectronic Arts announced the rollout on its own social account on November 5, framing the Ultima games as part of a larger batch: seven restored anniversary editions for Road Rash and Wing Commander plus 18 other classic titles, live on Steam, GOG, and the EA App the same day.
