Raven Vault

Raven Vault main menu

Raven Vault is a new feature added in the 2025 Heretic + Hexen re-release. It offers galleries of graphic assets and concept art from the early development and pre-release versions of Heretic and Hexen. The galleries include captions for or brief explanations about each image (group). The images are contained in the Common.kpf archive in the "menu\vault\" folder.

Further cut content and unused extras from Doom's development are included in the "vault\" folder, apparently a remnant of the id Vault.
