Fantasy FPS classics Heretic and Hexen have been revived and remastered for PC and consoles

Nightdive, the retro revival specialist, has delivered yet another classic that's been tweaked and brought up to date for modern platforms.

Raven Software's legendary (or at the very least, fondly remembered) fantasy FPS twosome Heretic and Hexen have risen from the grave and received the remaster treatment on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC, courtesy of retro specialists Nightdive. But while the titles had much in common with id Software's seminal shooter, they managed to bring something new to the still-fledgling genre with their medieval fantasy setting; beefy guns and demonic hordes making way for swords, spell-casting, character classes, and the likes of monstrous spiders, golems, gargoyles, and the undead. Watch on YouTube Nightdive - the team responsible for many an acclaimed remaster, including the recent upgrades for System Shock 2 and Star Wars: Dark Forces- announced its new Heretic + Hexen release ahead of this year's QuakeCon.
