Heretic and Hexen have received a surprise remaster from Nightdive Studios


Classic FPS games Heretic and Hexen have been remastered by Nightdive Studios to run on modern consoles and support cross-platform multiplayer.

The games are now available for modern consoles in a new release, dubbed Heretic + Hexen, that includes support for co-op, cross-platform multiplayer and community-published mods. When they were first released in 1994 and 1995, respectively, Heretic and Hexen featured the novel pairing of Doom-inspired first-person action, with rudimentary RPG elements like character classes and an inventory. Nightdive Studios has worked on other id Software remasters, but the idea of remaking or rereleasing Heretic and Hexen has been in the cards for quite a while.
