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.
