Heretic And Hexen Get Remastered For A New Generation To Experience

The article discusses the remastered release of the classic fantasy first-person shooter games Heretic and Hexen for modern platforms. Originally developed by Raven Software in the 1990s, these cult classic games are now available on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC, allowing both longtime fans and new players to experience them. The remastered collection, titled "Heretic + Hexen," includes new features such as two brand-new episodes, support for community-made mods, and both local and online multiplayer with up to 16 players. The games also feature unique protagonists and class-based systems, adding to the variety of gameplay styles. One of the key improvements is the inclusion of full cross-platform multiplayer, allowing players across different systems to join games quickly using a room code. The remaster also includes access to the Raven Vault, a collection of behind-the-scenes materials from the original development, as well as the option to switch between the original MIDI and FM Synth soundtracks or enjoy a modern remix. The article also mentions that players who already own the original versions of the games will be able to access and download them on the same platform, and that the remaster only requires a Bethesda account to access online multiplayer and browse or upload mods, depending on the platform.
