Ultima Forever portal launched by BioWare and EA. Download Ultima IV for free

Ultima Forever has launched as an all-new website portal for all things Ultima, offering a free download of Ultima IV and promising much more to come as the site expands.

The web-site was launched by BioWare and Electronic Arts as a place to celebrate the long-running Western RPG series with links to sign up to the 14-years-strong and still running Ultima Online and brief synopsis’ on the series as a whole and Ultima IV in particular.

Since the web-site was created to celebrate all things Ultima, you’d imagine that digital downloads for all of the Ultima games will eventually be available via the web-site. As of now, you can download Ultima Underworld 1 and 2 on GOG.com, as EA recently joined the digital DRM-free store with some of their classic titles, but you can be sure that they want to sell them themselves and will be doing so down the road at the new Ultima Forever portal.

So be sure to download a free Ultima 4 at the web-site for some classic RPG action. And don’t forget to install the DOSbox so you can play it (you can download DOSbox at the Ultima Forever homepage).

Hopefully EA will also try their hand at re-releasing some of the classic Ultima titles on more recent downloadable stores like XBLA, PSN or Steam.
