Nightdive Studios and id Software have re-released two classic 90s shooters, Heretic and Hexen, as an enhanced bundle with cross-platform multiplayer, mod support, and a remixed soundtrack. The bundle includes new chapters, community mods, and performance tweaks for PC players.
The surprise re-release was announced during QuakeCon, where id’s Marty Stratton and Hugo Martin revealed the revamped games. Heretic + Hexen includes Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders, Hexen: Beyond Heretic, and Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel, as well as two new chapters developed by original developers and community members.
Players with existing copies of the old games will receive a free upgrade to the new bundle, retaining access to previous versions. The new additions include community mod support, local and online multiplayer for up to 16 players, and improved performance for PC hardware.
The Heretic + Hexen bundle is available on Steam, GOG.com, and Xbox Game Pass for £13.49/$14.99.
