Just when it seemed like Nightdive Studios was teasing Quake 3 Arena Remaster (which could still happen), it shadow dropped Heretic + Hexen for PS4, PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S for $14.99. It’s also available for Game Pass subscribers. Check out the launch trailer below.
As a re-release of Raven Software’s acclaimed fantasy first-person shooters, Heretic + Hexen includes the base games and their expansions, Shadow of the Serpent Riders and Deathkings of the Dark Citadel. However, Nightdive included two new episodes – Heretic: Faith Renewed and Hexen: Vestiges of Grandeur – for a total of 117 campaign maps.
All 120 Deathmatch maps are included as well, with cross-platform co-op and PvP for up to 16 players. You can also play split-screen co-op and deathmatch with up to eight players. Fans can also look forward to 4K support and up to 120 frames per second on current-gen and PC, new accessibility options, widescreen support, a Vault showcasing concept art and other development material, and modern controller support.
Of course, there’s also an in-game mod browser with support for community-made mods, just like DOOM + DOOM 2. Head here for an FAQ with more details.
