Sure his head is up in the clouds at the moment, but Ultima creator Richard Garriott hasnāt forgotten where heās from. In an interview with GameDaily, Garriott discusses an eventual return to gaming.
GameDaily writer and occasional Kotaku contributer N. Evan Van Zelfden (possible robot) got a chance to speak with Garriott about his future gaming plans during The Game Business Law summit founderās dinner.
Do I have a plan that I can tell you now? No. Iām still finishing my space flight. I am literally still in the middle of NASA and ESA medical experiments. I am literally still in the middle of my earth observation analysis, as well as the particle crystal growth stuff weāre wrapping up. And thatās going to take me some weeks and months to wrap up. But, some day in the future, itās hard not to assume I will get back into gaming. I still personally believe I have lots of great ideas and desire to build games. Itās just today, itās space.
Hit up the link below for the rest of the interview, in which Garriott bemoans the early closure of Tabula Rasa and expresses interest in returning to the Ultima property somewhere down the line.
