Croteam has just released a new screenshot and a teaser trailer for Serious Sam 4. This fourth part in the Serious Sam series will be called Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass and will be fully unveiled at E3 2018.
As its description reads, Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass will reignite the legendary series and elevate the iconic full-throttle gameplay. Players can expect massive hordes of enemies, and explosive array of weapons that will be brought to the next level with the power of Croteam’s Serious Engine.
Croteam did not reveal whether the game will come out in 2018 or 2019, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
Enjoy!

I’m in.
Let’s get SERIOUS, guys….Overlord “Mental” seeks to destroy humanity once again. /s
I really enjoy playing this “insane” shooter though, and I hope it retains the original run-and-gun gameplay style.
The ads are evolving
They said some years ago that they will break the record of having most enemies in a level. Judging by the last scene of the teaser, I think they made it.
Damn…yeah, with today’s tech, totally possible!
on a monster pc like mine ryzen 1700 16 gb 3200mhzcl15 gtx 970 and 24” 1440p 60 hz ips yes. But on crappy pc like the one that one of my friends have who is core i3 7400 8gb 2400mhz gtx 1060 and 23” 1080p monitor no!

Croteam usually handles copy protection in very inventive and funny ways.
Devolver Digital’s E3 2018 Press Conference just got a lot more interesting.
It’s a pity they will never advance this story.
SS3 was a prequel, if you want to follow the story you have to play SS1, then SS2.
I know. But SS2 has a bad story and is a bad game in my opinion. Croteam has hinted the possibility of a SS2 remake some time ago. I hope they do it eventually.
Yes it is like Devil may cry games: Where Devil may cry 3 takes place before 1 and 2. So for someone who has not played any of them then must play first devil may cry 3 then 1 and then 2. The same thing they did to serious sam. Right? So for someone new to the series he must start with serious sam 3. Am i right?
SS2 is not canon. This is why SS4 is a prequel to SS3.
Cant wait for this. Time to get serious once again.
Really? Who needs ‘story’ in a Serious Sam game?
….Exactly !
no wonder you like wolfenstein 2 so much and blocked me over me hating it, you are an idiot. bet you hate dusk and amid evil too or doom 2016.
He should hate Doom 2016 alright, it has much more things in common with Serious Sam than with the Doom games.
Not really they based the game on brutal doom and it has far less enemy spawning and more interesting levels than serious sam.
Er… not at all. Doom 2016 has nothing to do with Brutal Doom. Brutal Doom retains original DOOM level design philosophy where you can freely explore the levels at your leisure. Doom 2016 locks you in small ‘arenas’ and you can’t progress until you eliminate all the baddies. Like in Serious Sam.
SS usually also lets you backtrack all the way to the starting point of a level to search for secrets and whatnot, but that’s hardly a selling point “Hey! Our games let’s you backtrack through a level!”
The important thing is what happens while advancing, does Doom 2016 let you advance at your own pace like in DOOM and DOOM II? No.
And enemy quantity is a given, SS has huge open areas, but I don’t think anyone brought that up into the discussion.
Wolfenstein combat is top notch, whats bad is the linear scripted corridor level design, too much story thrown in your face all the damn time and meh weapons and enemies.
Ironicly whats about about wolfenstein 2 is what would make any fps bad while whats good about it is what would make any fps good. Something got seriously mess up during development. I never seen such a mess up since duke nukem forever having linear maps with no keycards, health regen and 2 weapon limit.
Seriously the combat in wolfenstein 2 is so inbalanced, the ai is hitscan, meanwhile doom and serious sam had projectiles. Its weird because the last 2 wolfenstein did not have this problem, every reviewer mentioned how inbalanced the combat felt.
HMMMM shadow warrior trailer much?
Also what is it what that title screen, who are the other characters? They better not turn this into some kind of coop mmo reboot/spinoff.
” Nothing wrong with it so far.”
well its not like we have seen gameplay.
It is what it is. Doesn’t appeal to all but I wouldn’t be expecting much story.
I guess they totally changed the tone of this series, which was serious, political and grimdark.
SERIOUS SAM has always been like that since the start of this franchise.
It’s not the typical first person shooter one might expect to have a strong story line, or some objectives to fulfill for that matter.
It’s all about “run and gun” fast-paced gameplay. Some love it, whereas others hate such type of games.
I personally prefer unreal and quake 2 but its sure as heck is better than painkiller.
One game by the name of “WILL ROCK”, actually tried to copy serious sam’s Gameplay style, but it failed pretty much, in my opinion.
It was made by Saber Interactive, and published by UBI, but the game is “insanely” filled by too many enemies, and it lacks innovation when it comes to Level design.
But still, not a bad game if someone loves playing old-school shooters similar to Serious Sam, Painkiller and the like…
Hey, look at that title card at the end with all the silhouettes, does it remind you of something?
Battle royale
There is no way a Serious Sam game can exist without a SP campaign…if they dare try otherwise, they will fail miserably!
I hope the soundtrack will be on the same epic level as SS3.

Cute guessess, but no cigar. Try harder.
Guess what people, we got another failed troll, Amiga and Kardashian posting style.
This got alot more serious now! 🙂
Idiotic comment, knowing how the saga is. Yes you can forget it and going back to those amazing shooters with great stories and plots AAA developers does these days… oh wait.
Heck yeah! day one for me.
and sam why are you driving on the wrong side of the road? 😀
oh, not the same enemies again, really lame
hopefully it isnt trash like serious sam 3
