Croteam and Devolver Digital might be bringing Serious Sam 4, currently available on PC (Steam) and Google Stadia, to the consoles that launched in November 2020.
USK, Germany’s game age rating board (as they have a separate one for films, called FSK; the country isn’t using the PEGI ratings, and the USK/FSK rating on the packaging takes an enormous size…) has rated Serious Sam 4. The Google Stadia rating doesn’t count, as that version, together with Steam, launched on September 24, 2020. However, Devolver Digital doesn’t tend to limit its games to a single console most of the time, which is why we suspect an Xbox Series version later. Croteam and Devolver have yet to announce the console versions, as we believe they won’t skip Xbox.
Here’s the game’s description from its Steam page: “Humanity is under siege as the full force of Mental’s hordes spread across the world, ravaging what remains of a broken and beaten civilization. The last remaining resistance to the invasion is the Earth Defense Force led by Sam “Serious” Stone and his heavily-armed squad of misfit commandos. Croteam returns with a high-powered prequel to the Serious Sam series that scales up chaos to unprecedented levels. The classic Serious Sam formula is revamped by putting an unstoppable arsenal up against an incredible number of enemies that requires players to circle-strafe and backpedal-blast their way out of impossible situations.
[…] The iconic cast of alien invaders returns with some new reinforcements! Fight your way through unbelievable numbers of Mental’s minions, including the iconic Headless Kamikaze, Beheaded Rocketeer, Kleer, Scrapjack, Werebull, and Khnum! Square against brand new enemies and towering monsters like the frantic Processed, repulsive Belcher, the hard-hitting Zealot, and more. […] Lay waste to Mental’s Horde using the powerful double-barreled shotgun, the punishing minigun, the powerful chainsaw launcher, a brand new auto shotgun, and the iconic cannon. Upgrade your toys, and enjoy the violent beauty of the lock-on rocket launcher and the powerful laser beam of death.
Smash through the action-packed campaign with friends in four-player online co-op mode! Tackle exciting primary missions and thrilling side quests in modified difficulties for an extra challenge. Serious Sam 4 unleashes some of the most significant moments in the series’ history with the new Legion System and battlefields teeming with thousands of enemies!”
The console version(s?) announcement should be imminent.
