Game overview

Description

The evil that once threatened Sosaria has fallen — yet a new challenge rises, not from darkness, but from within.

In Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar, you are summoned not to defeat a villain, but to embody virtue itself. The world of Britannia yearns for a true hero — one who will live by the Eight Virtues and become a symbol of honor, compassion, and truth.

Journey across the lands, consult wise seers, explore perilous dungeons, and master the principles that define a pure soul. Your success is measured not by conquest, but by character — a revolutionary idea that forever changed the RPG genre.

A landmark in storytelling and moral choice, Ultima IV redefined what it means to be a hero.
