He may have taken an ample amount of time off from the gaming industry, but now that he's back in the fold, Lord British have said that he's willing to work on his old role-playing series again.

In an interview with Industry Gamers, Garriott said, "I hope that Ultima does survive forever, yet I also, of course, have my own very particular ideas for what Ultima can and should become over time and so we'll see if they do things quite the way I would do them... since I'm not there at the moment."

When asked if he'd spoken to EA about reviving the series, Garrioth revealed, "We would be open to that. In fact, we've had some discussions at what I'll call very high levels, but the individuals who are currently shepherding the property don't seem to be particularly interested in that, so we'll see. Who knows? You never know what's going to happen in the future... the door is always open if they were ever interested."

EA recently stated that they are interested in resurrecting "a couple of old franchises" into the current generation. So who know, we might see Ultima being reborn in the future.
