Heretic II is a 1998 action-adventure game developed by Raven Software and published by Activision for Microsoft Windows. It is the fourth game in the Hexen/Heretic series and comes after the "Serpent Rider" trilogy, continuing the story of Corvus, the protagonist of the original Heretic. Although Id Software owns the publishing rights to the previous titles, Heretic II is owned by Activision since they own Raven Software and its IPs. Using a modified Quake II engine, the game features a mix of a third-person camera with a first-person shooter's action, making for a new gaming experience at the time. While progressive, this was a controversial design decision among fans of the original game, a well-known first-person shooter built on the Doom engine. The music was composed by Kevin Schilder. Gerald Brom contributed conceptual work to characters and creatures for the game. This is the only Heretic/Hexen video game that is unrelated to id Software, apart from its role as engine licenser. Heretic II was later ported to Linux by Loki Software, to the Amiga by Hyperion Entertainment, and Macintosh by MacPlay.
