Heretic and Hexen Source Codes released

Heretic and Hexen Source Codes has a new file out today, and PC gamers with itchy download fingers have something else to grab. Raven Software and Activision have announced the source code release for Raven’s blockbuster classics Heretic and Hexen. “As a result of the enormous popularity of the DOOM source code, we are extremely excited to see what the gaming public can do with the Heretic and Hexen code,” says Brian Raffel, vice president of Raven Studios.

That is the bargain we keep making with PC gaming: more patches, more drivers, more tools, and hopefully a better game on the other side. Sometimes it fixes everything. Sometimes it just gives us a new version number to complain about.
