Electronic Arts confirms that the next title available through its On The House program on the Origin platform is Ultima 8 Gold Edition, the classic role-playing experience in the long-running series.

EA's Origin series may have started out life as a rather simplistic service for the large publisher to release its games without paying fees to Valve for its Steam program, but now it's slowly evolved to great heights, as tens of millions of users employ the client.

In order to further augment the popularity of the service, EA has also organized different sales, not to mention programs like the special On The House, which offers certain games for free to all users for a limited period of time.

Now, another classic experience, in the form of Ultima 8 Gold Edition, is available for free starting today, April 28.

The role-playing game once again tasks players with saving Britannia as well as Earth itself in front of a new menacing force. Players must employ the new mechanics introduced by the game for the series, so it's certainly a treat both for veterans and newcomers.

The 1994 game is available for free for a limited time, so redeem it for your Origin account as soon as possible.
