Beltion: Beyond Ritual Announced
   

I have the feeling our friends at CRPG.ru have pointed this one out before but it has hit the radar with an English <a href="http://www.rostok-games.com.ua/eng/project/" target="_blank">product page</a>...Beltion: Beyond Ritual is an action/RPG from Ukrainian developer Rostok-Games:<blockquote><em><b>Beltion: Beyond Ritual</b> in a nonlinear third-person view Action/RPG game with the branching system of complementary quests. The game is being developed for PC platform only.<br />
<br />


The game is oriented on audience of 13-18 and older. The game should be specially attractive to the fans of medieval fantasy setting due to original art style concept combined with accustomed genre and setting canons.
<br />

<b>Game description</b>
<br />
<br />

The player is completely free to choose what to do in the game world. He can fight, trade, communicate with the Beltion inhabitants, accomplish quests given by them, develop his own character, fulfill different rituals of Gods and Powers who inhabit the game world.
<br />
<br />

The player will be able to visit countries and cities of Beltion continent, meet different characters of several races, gather interesting information about their everyday life by reading books, taking part in conversations, watching ingame movies. The persons player cam meet differ not only by racial belonging, but also by social levels, from high-ranking officials and rulers to beggars, vagabonds and rogues. Sometimes a clever dialogue will gain him more than a fight. Due to the possibility of trade, the player is able to sell items he gathered to buy new armour, weapons, magic items and ritual objects.</em></blockquote>There's more than I can reasonably post here so head over for the rest and check out some <a href="http://www.beltion-game.com/gallery/screenshots" target="_blank">screens</a> on the Russian site.

I've been waiting for news on this. I really hope we see an English publisher or at least digital distribution.

Looks so much like Gothic 1 it seems like the same engine.

Between this and Hearts of Eternity one could get a nice pre Gothic 3 fix!
