Screenshots for Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn
The Kingdom Reborn (KR) client for long-running MMO video game Ultima Online aims to modernize the title’s graphics without compromising most of its fan base that is used to running UO on lower-end computers. Aside from graphics, Kingdom Reborn will also let players enjoy improved user interface as well as a renovated tutorial system for new players.
Don’t be mistaken that the client is only intended for players as it will also give EA Mythic an easier time once it goes live this summer. According to the company’s developers, Kingdom Reborn will allow them to add new content without retreating through outdated and outmoded art. For the techie ones, KR was coded in 3D and then backslid to 2D. It’s rather simple if you know what you’re doing.
Anyway, to give us all as preview, EA Mythic sent in the screenshots above that compare Ultima Online‘s in-game graphics before and after Kingdom Reborn has been implemented. And by God, the client did wonders to the 10-year old IP. We’re pretty sure those who’ve left the game will not have any choice but to return.
Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn was first announced back in August of 2006. It will be released, as we’ve mentioned, this Summer as a free download for all active players. It’s minimum PC requirements are:
- 1GHz CPU
- GeForce 3 series video card
- 2GB of hard drive space
- 512MB of RAM
