Okay, so... anyone who is sad about this... go away.
Phil Spencer did an interview and was just brainstorming **** and said...
“I was looking at the IP list, I mean, let’s go!” Spencer said. “ ‘King’s Quest,’ ‘Guitar Hero,’ … I should know this but I think they got ‘HeXen.’ ”
This series, one of my all-time favorites back in the day, hasn't had acknowledgement of it's existence in almost 25 years. And Phil's all "Hey, I think we own HeXen now, can we, like, do something with it?"
I contacted Raven Software years ago about just getting a jewel case collection (iD had just released a Doom/Doom 2/Doom 2 Master Levels/Final Doom set) and had a great conversation with what I believe to be one of the og teammates who went into some of the details on how all the rights for Heretic and HeXen were all over the place and a collection would just be unlikely. And now this Phil guy is just like "Yup, throw it on the list too!"
Two days ago, I was like "meh, whatever" and now I'm like "How hard is it to get one of these newfangled XBoxes anyway?"
