xu4 is a well-known, SDL-based, cross-platform re-creation of the Ultima 4 game engine. xu4 was incorporated into ScummVM alongside several other Ultima fan engines in 2020. However, since then, Karl Robillard has taken on the responsibility of maintaining xu4 in its standalone form. Version 1.0 of the engine – it spent 18 years in a beta state! – was released in early 2022, with version 1.1 following in July of the year, bringing with it improvements to the engine’s handling of sounds.
This project is a fork of the xu4 codebase, rather than a straight translation thereof. TeaRex73 has made a number of changes to the engine, and in particular tried to re-create the look and sound of the original Apple ][ version of Ultima 4. The builds of the project that are available today run on Windows 7 or higher, and include complete documentation.
While this project has only come to light as of 2025, it is in fact the culmination of over a decade of on-and-off work. The timing of its release was intended to celebrate Ultima 4’s 40th anniversary, Ultima 4 having been released in mid-September back in 1985.
