Fantasy MMORPG

Iron and Magic

Iron and Magic was a blockchain-based, NFT-driven sandbox MMORPG announced in 2022 by DeMeta, Inc., the studio Ultima creator Richard Garriott (credited as creative advisor) formed with Todd Porter. The project's public presence never went beyond a sparse website and concept art of purchasable virtual land plots, with no gameplay systems, setting details, or release date ever shown; by 2026, retrospective coverage described the project as having quietly faded away without a launch.
