Bethesda has announced new releases of classic shooters that shaped the genre. These are Heretic and Hexen which were released in 1994 and 1995 when Raven Software developed them on a modified DOOM engine. These titles introduced many elements to gaming that are still used today (inventory, classes...).

This package includes the following:

Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders

Hexen: Beyond Heretic

Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel

Two new episodes created in collaboration with id Software and Nightdive Studios

Heretic: Faith Renewed

Hexen: Vestiges of Grandeur

The new features include:

• Online cross-platform and local split-screen deathmatch and co-op modes

• Enhanced soundtrack by Andrew Hulshult

• Support for mods

• Better performance with support for modern systems, including 4K 120 FPS on consoles, modern controllers, and widescreen monitors

• A range of accessibility options, quality-of-life improvements, and enhancements for the engine.
