Two new professions and a new Japanese-themed land on tap for EA"s massively-multiplayer RPG.
Electronic Arts has announced plans to release a new expansion pack for its 1997 role-playing game, Ultima Online. The pack, subtitled Samurai Empire, will bring a new Japanese-themed area into the world, as well as two new professions to choose from.
The new ninja profession is, as you might expect, a stealth-based class that fights using magic. Skills for the ninja class will include an animal form, which lets you turn into an innocent-looking wolf or serpent in an effort to slip past stronger enemies. The mirror image skill will let you create copies of yourself to confuse your enemies. And the smoke bomb will allow you to disappear completely.
