About

Heretic + Hexen, set to release in 2025, is a remastered collection that breathes new life into the classic dark fantasy titles, Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders and Hexen: Beyond Heretic. This compelling remaster features enhanced gameplay experience with quality of life improvements such as native widescreen support, engine fixes, and interface tweaks that bring modern graphics to these beloved games. Notably, the addition of new episodes like Heretic: Faith Renewed and Hexen: Vestiges of Grandeur introduces fresh content for both returning fans and newcomers alike.

PC gamers who appreciate challenging gameplay and intricate level design will find much to love in Heretic + Hexen. Its blend of first-person shooter mechanics with RPG elements caters well to those who enjoy exploring rich environments filled with secrets, along with engaging combat. The remaster’s reworked local and online multiplayer features enhance replayability, making it a great choice for players looking to team up with friends or face off against foes in competitive scenarios.

If you’re a fan of retro-inspired PC games or enjoy action-packed adventures set in dark fantasy settings, Heretic + Hexen is worth considering. With its high potential for polished performance and engaging gameplay, this remastered collection is likely to receive positive reception among both critics and fans, ensuring it stands out in the ever-evolving landscape of PC gaming.

Performance profile

August 2025 release. As a current-generation title, Heretic + Hexen pushes modern hardware — expect to need an RTX 40-series or RX 7000-series GPU to enjoy it at native 4K Ultra without leaning on upscaling.

RPGs like Heretic + Hexen stress VRAM during long sessions — texture streaming, mods and open-world traversal inflate memory use over time. 8 GB VRAM is a practical floor; 12 GB+ is worth the headroom at 1440p and above.

Extremely light — Heretic + Hexen runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

Step into the definitive re-release of two dark spell-casting shooters that shaped the genre. Forged by Raven Software on a modified DOOM engine, Heretic and Hexen were released in 1994 and 1995, pushing first person shooters into bold new territory. These innovative cult classics introduced groundbreaking features like inventory systems, vertical aiming, and distinct character classes, reshaping first person action games for generations to come. This enhanced restoration makes Heretic Hexen available to new audiences and long-time fans with expanded accessibility across more platforms and languages than ever before. Whether you're returning to these shadowy realms or discovering them for the first time, an epic legacy awaits.
