UO: Lord Blackthorn’s Revenge Preview

A preview for the upcoming Ultima Online expansion, Lord Blackthorn’s Revenge, can be found over at GameSpot. Here’s a taste:

Perhaps the most noteworthy new feature in Lord Blackthorn’s Revenge is the inclusion of 30 new creatures, each of which was either designed by Todd McFarlane or inspired by his work. These include both monsters and rideable mounts. Also, while the artwork and animation files for all 30 monsters can be found on the game disc when it is first purchased, the monsters themselves will be introduced a few at a time. So when you first fire up Ultima Online: Lord Blackthorn’s Revenge, you might see a handful of new monsters if you wander far enough into uncharted territory, but you won’t see them all until certain key events take place in the gameworld.
