GameSpy has learned that Ultima X Odyssey, a new MMOG based in the Ultima universe using the Unreal Engine, has been cancelled by Electronic Arts. There are no layoffs associated with the move as the rest of the staff will be absorbed into existing Ultima Online projects.
A spokesperson said the game was cancelled so Electronic Arts could focus its resources on the existing game, including a new (and as yet unannounced) expansion pack that will be officially revealed later this month at an EA press event, and another unannounced UO project.
