- Serious Sam: Shatterverse OUT NOW! - 31 August 2026
The wait is over. Serious Sam: Shatterverse is available today on Steam! Bringing roguelite chaos to Serious Sam has been an absolute blast, and we owe a huge thanks to this community for helping us shape it. Our goal was simple: keep the massive hordes and ridiculous gunplay you expect, but add a fresh, highly replayable co-op twist.Now it’s on you to tear the Shatterverse apart. Whether you’re running completely offline to prove you’re the ultimate one-Sam army, or dragging four friends into the chaos, you’ve got options. Pick from five totally different versions of Sam (yes, including the cartoon one), grab an irresponsible amount of firepower, and start hunting Mental's horde. Stack wild boons, hunt down permanent upgrades, and show Mental exactly why he never should have messed with the timeline in the first place. Shatterverse drops today for $19.99 USD, and you can grab it at a 1…

- Serious Sam gets a fully path-traced RT upgrade - and it's beautiful - 9 September 2021
We've been down this route before with Quake 2, of course. Taking an ancient, relatively simple 3D game and upgrading it into a fully path-traced graphical experience can be revelatory - and that's exactly what we see with this recently released, highly modified version of Serious Sam: The First Encounter. Yes, that's TFE, not Serious Sam HD - so it's a mod of the original game, largely bound by the limitations of the 2001 release. However, as you'll see from the video and head-to-head screenshots on this page, the results of a transition to a fully path-traced experience are impressive. To get the game working with RT, author Sultim Tsyrendashiev delivers extensive modifications - not just in terms of the renderer (which is running via the Vulkan API) but also in terms of its core art assets too. For path tracing to work and for light to propagate around a scene, textures need updating…

What started as a hotfix, ended up as a full-blown patch with some much-needed fixes introduced with the huge update from a month ago, along with some cool tweaks and fixes based on community feedback. The powerful Nate has been working around the clock with our testing team to wrap this bad boy up, and while we are happy with it, we’ll be looking out for any and all additional feedback. For the full changelog, please read below. Much love from Croteam! Danny Serious Sam 2 Update 2.091 Changelog What’s new: We have added the "Toggle sprint" keybind. Sam can’t get out of breath anyway, so we may as well make him sprint all the time. We’ve got freshly recreated serious bomb weapon and ammo icons. Feast your eyes. Fixes: The profile options will…
- Serious Sam 2 surprises fans with substantial new update, 15 years after original release - 23 March 2021
Serious Sam, Croteam's massively over-the-top first-person shooter series, is 20 years old this week, and the developer has surprised fans by launching a substantial free update for Serious Sam 2 on PC as part of its birthday celebrations. It's been 15 years since Serious Sam 2's debut, and today's update aims to improve on that original experience by introducing a range of new features and enhancements. There's a new weapon in the form of the BeamGun (modelled on the Ghost Buster from the original Serious Sam design document), for instance, alongside 12 previously unreleased multiplayer maps, including Yodeller, Hole, Stadium, and Desert Temple.

- Wait, what?! Serious Sam 2 Update 2.090 is Live! - 23 March 2021
Bet you didn’t see this one coming! But here it is anyway. It’s been five billion years since the last proper update for Serious Sam 2. In the meantime, we have released a bunch of games, but Serious Sam 2 was always creeping in the darkest corners of our minds. So much so that when the ol’ Nate, aka Nathan Brown, aka DwK, mentioned how he’d love to give Serious Sam 2 another chance, we jumped right onto the hype train. Nathan did some amazing work in the past couple of months and made sure we deliver the ultimate Serious Sam 2 update, changing the game forever. For the better, of course. With additions like dual-wielding, enemy multiplier, new weapons, and 12 brand new multiplayer maps, Serious Sam 2 gets a new life today. All hail Nathan! Serious Sam 2 Update 2.090 is quite substantial, so make sure to check out the full changelog at the very bottom of this post. Before you do that, w…

- Whoah! Serious Sam is 18 years old - 21 March 2019
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33025992%2F2cd3cc0ede390b7a42ac854bf289f593a9ba1dfe.jpg Serious Sam is 18 years old today. It was on March 21st, 2001 that Serious Sam: The First Encounter hit the shelves. Quite literally, as digital distribution was still a distant future back then. We were young, super passionate and, after a successful tech test launched in the summer of 2000, confident that Serious Sam would resonate well with the gaming community. Turns out, we were right. Serious Sam: The First Encounter caused quite a stir in the gaming community, won dozens of awards (including Gamespot's Game of the Year) and laid the foundation of everything Croteam is today. Fast forward 18 years later and Serious Sam got numerous sequels, spin-offs and remasters on most platforms. Hell, we even sent Sam to virtual reality and as with everything else - had tons…
