heXen:Edge of Chaos will be a new and free game, based on the original Hexen game which was developed by id Software and Raven Software.
Edge of Chaos is being developed by a team of fans who have always loved the original Hexen since it came out. In fact, most of us spent countless hours with the entire series. When id Software released Doom3, we immediately saw immense potential in the engine itself; the 'Hell' maps gave us the inspiration to make a hack-and-slash game based, primarily, on the original Hexen.

This looks promising!
when will there be a standalone version?
As far as I know, the game is going to be released as a standalone. At least that's what my dad says (my dad's the musician), he said they got the source code and that's part of the reason the release has taken longer.
Does Doom3 BFG edition can run this awesome mod???
Thanks to you all guys for this amazing work!!!!!
The mod will not run on the BFG edition. Sorry!
Also I don't know if it's just my gpu or just doom 3 1.3.1 but on any mod for Doom 3 and Quake 4 something goes wrong. With Edge of Chaos I get crappy fps with a more than powerful for this game graphics card and all the tips of trees and my weapons all are complete black with white dots on them? Also the skybox is all messed up to where when I look up it's cut off. Not a bad mod, actually a great mod but I can't seem to find where the problem is..
It sounds like based on your performance problems and graphical issues that you might have another mod installed in your /base directory. Do you have any type of graphics mod or texture mod installed like Sikkmod or Wulfen? If so, are they in your /base directory?
This is defiantly Hexen reborn with fabulous work. I loved every second of it, nice and fast paced just like the original. Liking it more than Skyrim. My only complaint which is not really one more of a question is that. The id tech engine for this game was meant for Doom 3 as in tight places, because Quake 4 seemed to have a few bugs none noticeable with outdoor ranges. This game is beautiful and I love the atmosphere but I don't seem to achieve great fps. Is it because it is still a beta? Or is the engine just that horrible with the environment, or is it just me?
I have a:
HD 7850 OC
FX-4100 3.7ghz
8gb ram.
I should be getting 60 fps flat with a Doom 3 engine.
Anyways I LOVE this game this is great and can't wait for more building. Great job and Thank you for bringing one of my favorite games back to life! Is Hexen II worth getting?
This is looking pretty good. graphics are well made, atmosphere is Hexen and level design is professional as well. Great work on this so far. My only complaints are the easy enemies and the weird looking skins for the Two-headed enemies. Also locked doors are everywhere and many of these don't give a message, it becomes hard to figure out the locked doors from the doors that are never opened.
