Over the last couple of days, I've been playing the recent Heretic + Hexen remaster that was announced and revealed at QuakeCon 2025 (thank you, Bethesda Softworks, for the code).
This compilation is a loving enhancement of Raven Software's original games that's been carefully brought to modern hardware through the efforts of the remaster experts at Nightdive Studios, who are working once again alongside developer id Software.
There are even entirely new expansions to play (crafted in tandem by Nightdive and id Software) alongside both classic titles.
Playing through these games and seeing the love poured into them has me reflecting a bit on how fruitful this partnership has been over the last few years, as well as wondering what could be next.
