Well, this escalated quickly… What was supposed to be a quick turnaround became super complicated, and here we are. A few weeks removed from the time our community dude promised to deliver the update. But it is what it is, the world keeps on spinning, and the updates keep on giving.

The Serious Sam 4 update 1.06 is finally with us, and it lays the foundation for 1.07 due before Christmas. With that being said, it’s not a huge update, but it’s not a tiny one either, with some new cool gameplay features, more characters, and additions requested by the community.

The stars of the show this time around are a quartet of characters, including the notorious gunslinger Wild Wyat (you’re welcome, Yasen), money-loving executive, and since recently, Croteam head-honcho, Fork Parker, as well as two metallic bros – Silicon Sam and Elohim’s Son!

These folks are well-trained special forces veterans, so they forced us to make some changes in the way the gadgets work. There are three new commands when using gadgets. Quick use (Z), previous gadget (N), and next gadget (M). Instead of using the old command (gadget selection), which served as a shortcut to equip gadgets, quick use equips the current gadget, fires it, and returns to the current weapon. You can also cycle gadgets without having them equipped (N and M, respectively). In the weapon wheel, you can right-click a gadget to preselect it.

By default, in this patch, the keys for using gadgets quickly are not bound, so go to Options > Keyboard and Mouse and press the Default button to bind them automatically. You can also bind them manually to any key you wish.

The full changelog is available on Steam and Reddit.

Hey everyone! This patch has been a long time coming, but because we made you wait so long, we have made sure that it’s a special one. It expands Serious Sam 4 with some of the features you have been requesting for a long time, even before SS4 came to be.

The 1.05 update features a Halloween special event. Find a special Jack-o’-Lantern on Death from Above, but beware. Many scary things await those who pick it up. This special event will be active through November 3, but if you miss it – shame on you – you’ll be able to check it out next year, as it’s not going away.

One of the highlights of this update is extra multiplayer skins. The ol’ Pirate Pete is back, and so is his friend Boxer Barry. The two of them are joined by the dancing bros themselves, Groovy Gregory and Dancing Denzel, but that’s not all. A brand new face has got a bone to pick with those pesky aliens, the one and only Meatless Mike.

As if dressing up in Multiplayer is not enough, you can now use all those characters in your Singleplayer adventures. And finally, all of them have their own hands in the first-person view. It’s been 84 years, we know.

Find the full changelog on the Serious Sam 4 Steam Community Hub and the official Croteam subreddit.

We are extremely happy and proud to announce that Croteam has become a part of the Devolver Digital family.

Devolver has always been more than a business partner for us. Our relationship with some of the key people from Devolver goes back to the very first days of the Serious Sam series. Our fates became finally intertwined a decade ago when we were looking for a partner we could trust. And trust Devolver Digital we did.

Since those days, we have partnered with Devolver on dozens of games – from the frantic Serious Sam series to the award-winning The Talos Principle across PC, consoles, VR, and mobile platforms.

We are very excited to make our connection even deeper with this move. Here’s to many years of amazing Devolver Digital games by Croteam!

We are proud to launch the next chapter of the Serious Sam saga. Reigniting the classic formula, Serious Sam 4 brings chaos to Steam, Stadia, and GOG. Watch the launch trailer below.

Serious Sam 4 is available as a Standard and Digital Deluxe edition. The Digital Deluxe edition includes an exclusive Tommy Gun classic weapon skin, The Art of Serious Sam 4 digital art-book, as well as an OST by Croteam’s veteran composer Damjan Mravunac with guest appearances by Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails) and Ivan Spelljack Jitz (Undercode).

To stay up to speed with all future Serious Sam 4 updates, please join our official Discord server, or follow us on Facebook and Twitter. We will also be actively updating the communities on Reddit and the Steam community hub.

We are a week away from the launch of Serious Sam 4, which means the official countdown is coming to an end. In today’s final episode of the Countdown to Serious Sam 4, our veterans talk about the weird and often unexpected path that led us to where we are today.

Have a look and get even more insight into what happens behind the scenes at Croteam.

With the countdown being over, there’s little for us to do except staying excited about the launch, scheduled for September 24. With that being said, we will not be resting, as we’re preparing brand new videos and trailers for you to enjoy next week, leading up to the launch. So, stay tuned!

Much love from Croteam!

It’s time for another Countdown video, and this time we’re bringing some riffs, solos, and – as our composer would say – very heavy rhythmical pounding. Join us in watching and hear the legendary Damjan “It’s Drums” Mravunac talk about how the Serious Sam 4 soundtrack differs from the ones that came before, what makes it special, and who it is that remade the amazingly popular Hero this time around.

We’re just two weeks away from the launch. Is that exciting or what?!

Until next time, much love from Croteam!

We’re back again with another Countdown video and this week we’re trying to figure out what it is that makes a Serious Sam game.

Coming to you straight from the mouth of Davor “This game is the game” Tomicic, and Davor “I’ll take care of that” Hunski, find out why Serious Sam gameplay is deeper than it seems.

If you’ve missed previous episodes make sure to watch them here, and here. Oh, and how about that Popemobile Trailer? It’s grand, is it not?

Serious Sam 4 is launching in just a few weeks, so make sure to preorder on Steam or GOG and be ready to save the world on day one.

We are slowly counting the days towards the launch of Serious Sam 4.

After a couple of countdown videos (watch them here and here) we are delivering more juicy gameplay straight to your eyeballs. In a brand new gameplay trailer, Sam’s driving a popemobile. But beware, it’s not your dad’s popemobile this time. It’s something much better.

Finished watching? Make sure to visit our official Discord community, and share your thoughts. We’d love to hear them.

Hi everyone! The current week was a big one for us. On Tuesday, we have announced that Serious Sam 4 is coming to GOG, and the reactions to that were overwhelmingly positive. We have always been about giving the players as many options as possible, and that started with in-game stuff, all the way to game availability, so it feels good seeing that we have made the right decision.

The GOG pre-orders are available now and include the Tommy Gun weapons skin.

This week also marks the continuation of the official countdown to Serious Sam. In this one learn more about why we’ve been developing our own engine for 25 years, and what made us take on a difficult challenge of staying up to date in today’s world of amazing video game tech.

Make sure to stay tuned this Friday night, as there’s a brand new gameplay trailer running towards your screens at full speed. The trailer will be published during the Future Games Show and streamed at 9 PM CEST via Twitch.

The official countdown to Serious Sam 4 begins with Against All Odds, a behind-the-scenes video full of dev interviews looking back on the early days of Croteam, and the struggles to get Serious Sam “out there”.

Serious Sam 4 is launching on September 24, 2020 via Steam and Stadia. Visit serioussam.com to pre-order now and get your hands on a shiny Tommy Gun in-game weapon skin.

It’s been a wild ride for us, and it’s about to be even wilder for you when Serious Sam 4 obliterates normality this August. And by August we actually mean September 24, 2020.
