Raven Software? You mean the ones who made Fable? Didn’t know that was owned by Activision /:

Fable is owned by Microsoft but was made by Lionhead, which is now shuttered. Raven Software is a Call of Duty studio (that prior to that did a lot of licensed games)

I remember Raven for Heretic and Hexen, some of the first games that licensed the Doom engine. Love their old stuff, but it’s a shame they got shoved into the COD meat grinder.

Edit: put “licensed” in the wrong place. Heretic and Hexen were not licensed titles.

They also did the X-Men Legends games, and the first Marvel: Ultimate Alliance game.

Heretic and Hexen are both amazing titles. I've always felt like way too many people slept on those games back in the 90s. I think that most gamers I knew didn't get around to them til Hexen was ported to the N64, but all of the console ports were hot garbage. I played the hell out of both of them on my PC when they were first released.
