New expansion adds classes, and new areas to explore.
Electronic Arts plans to take its massively multiplayer online game Ultima Online in a slightly different direction with the release of a Japanese-themed expansion this fall.
Ultima Online: Samurai Empire is set in an “exotic Japanese-inspired land,” and will serve up two new professions—the Samurai and the Ninja. Both new character types will be outfitted with a series of deadly attacks, while weapons, armor, clothing and housing will be newly outfitted with an Asian-influence as well.
