Ultima Forever Website Leaked

It appears that EA has put out a mysterious “Ultima Forever” website out in the open too early, as spotted by an Ultima Online Stratics forum user. The website has already been put down, but a screenshot is available, and a Twitter account has already been up since April. To further confirmed that it’s legit, the domain is registered by EA:

This seems to tie back to the rumors of an Ultima IV remake by Mythic and the DMCA notifications sent to websites hosting the original game or Flash-based remakes of it. As of now though, nothing confirms that there is a remake in the works yet, as the website apparently just offers an Ultima IV download (not bundled with DOSBox).
