As promised a few weeks ago, Serious Sam 4 Update 1.07 arrives just in time for the Steam Winter Sale and comes with a bang. If you haven’t guessed by the cover image, the update celebrates upcoming Holidays with a special time-limited in-game event and a new playable character. That’s right, Serious Sam 4 is taking you on a trip to an alien-infested Winter Wonderland.

To activate this special event, make sure you are playing on Steam, then find a lonely Christmas tree on “Death from Above” and slap some decorations on that bad boy. Do it as Santa Sam for a complete experience.

Alongside the new Christmas event, Serious Sam 4 Update 1.07 delivers the long-awaited Survival mode. Jump in solo or with friends and see how long you can survive fighting ever-growing hordes of aliens across three very different locations.

This update also contains various fixes and tweaks, so make sure to read through the entire changelog on Steam or Reddit.

During the Steam Winter Sale, Serious Sam 4 is available at 20% off, so grab it now if you haven’t already.

As always, we’ll be looking out for your feedback and acting on it. Feel free to report any issues in the tech-support subforum, and we’re always open to suggestions via forums. We’ll love you even more if you join our official Discord server.

Got a funny moment to share? Maybe some fan-art or a crazy Serious Sam video you made? We’d love to take a look and share it for everyone else to see. Reach out to our community team directly via Discord, or holler at us via Twitter – @croteam, @serioussamiam, @danny_hr, and @yasenstavrev.

Much love from Croteam!

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!
