GoKawiilRichard Garriott to reclaim Ultima IP rights from EA in 2027
Richard Garriott says he will regain ownership of the Ultima series from EA in 2027, using a US copyright provision that lets original rights holders reclaim IP 35 years after selling it, with no payment required. He confirmed he notified EA of his intent in April this year, and the publisher acknowledged the request and said it would comply with the law.
