Ultima 5: Warriors of Destiny
was released in 1988, and again featured an improvement over
the graphics of its predecessors. Having said that, this was
the last Ultima to feature the truly classic overhead "dual-scale"
low-resolution world view. All Ultimas after this (until Ultima
9) would feature some variant of the isometric view.
Ultima 5 brought the Avatar back to a dark Britannia, in which
Lord British had been imprisoned and the land caught up in the
oppressive rule of the treacherous Lord Blackthorn, himself
a puppet of the evil Shadowlords - three beings of great evil
spawned from the shards of the shattered Gem of Mondain.

Neat Ultima 5
|
Produced by: Sheng Gradilla
Website: Neat U5 at Sourceforge
An xu4-inspired remake, this engine is intended to offer a cross-platform rewrite of the Ultima 5 engine, with music, sound, and a host of other "neat" improvements.
Sheng Long Gradilla intents to use a client-server architecture to implement an easy method of creating progressively more enhanced game clients without having to modify the classic client at all. Though the game will not be multiplayer initially, the developer assures us that should another programmer later want to add that functionality, they will not find it difficult to do so.

* Littoral 1.3.1 with documentation
A new remake, the first to go public in 2005, this Morrowind-based project aims to create a faithful remake of Ultima 5. Currently, it looks like a one-man show, and is very early along in development with only a few work-in-progress screenshots to show. But keep an eye on this one, folks!
Kevin Fishburne has just completed and released Littoral, an incredibly powerful terrain-generation utility for Morrowind that should speed his development process along handily!
