Unless you visited doom3world or some other Doom related site I can see why you wouldn't have heard of it. They didn't go building hype years before they could release (*glares at Black Mesa team*).

Coming in November! (http://www.moddb.com/mods/hexen-edge-of-chaos/news/chaos-beckons-thee-release-date)

Quote

It will contain the Cleric's first hub which consists of 3 full maps and some 1.5 to 2 hours of gameplay. You will fight monsters, solve puzzles, fail puzzles, use weapons, utilize artifacts, break lots of stuff, and curse our names to Chaos when you most likely die a few times along the way. Surely you all expect some degree of obscurity that comes with puzzles for this game... and the price for failure is steep...

It'll be short, but man I cant wait to try it out.

Holy shit, the release trailer looks fantastic!  Damn... somebody pay these guys to make Hexen 3.  Seriously.  That looks really nicely done.
