There it is! I was in the team behind this re-release for around 4 months, I did a ton of graphical work, mostly new graphics but also touching up unused stuff like the Troll and Tempest Wand. It was great to have had the opportunity to work on this, it was a learning experience around a great team!
In collaboration with id Software, we're excited to announce the definitive re-release of Heretic + Hexen — available NOW on all platforms! 💥
