Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar, F2P RPG announced by Bioware

Biowarerevealedtoday that they will be somewhat resurrecting the Ultima series with a new free-to-play RPG called Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar.

Players can choose to play as either the Fighter or the Mage on either an iPad or PC. It's not 100% clear what type of cooperative play will be offered, but it does seem like there will be online co-op available with the website reading, "travel alone or with friends, restore virtue and become the avatar!" However, it's possible that could refer to in-game "friends."

As of now, that's pretty much all we know. The website is currently accepting beta sign-ups.
