We recently got our hands on a tasty beta-build of the upcoming RPG Kult: Heretic Kingdoms, an isometric role-playing adventure set in a world of mages and magical mysticism. Originally slated for a 2002 release it has been delayed numerous times and is now set to hit retail, depending on your region, somewhere early October 2004.

Kult: Heretic Kingdoms is set in a world where God is dead and religion relegated to heresy. You’ll play the role of a young inspiring female mage whose goal it is to rid the world of the lingering traces of religion. A large part of doing so requires tracking down an ancient sword that has recently been stolen which may allow a sinister group of mages to resurrect the Dead God.
