Back in February, we informed you about a potential release of Serious Sam 4. According to an easter egg in Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope, the fourth part in the Serious Sam series was meant to come out this December. However, and since there hasn’t been any news on it, we can safely say that the game won’t release this year.
Croteam tweeted our story back then, something that fueled us with hope. However, it’s mid-November now and we haven’t heard or seen anything from it. Hell, we haven’t even received any teaser this whole year.
Now there is a possibility that Serious Sam 4 may get revealed in December. After all, the annual “The Video Games Awards” event takes place next month. As such, it’s not out of the question to expect a little bit of kamikaze love.
From what we know so far, Croteam’s core team remains hard at work on Serious Sam 4. While nothing is certain yet, we expect Serious Sam 4 to use the Vulkan API. After all, all the previous Serious Sam games have dropped DX9 in favour of the Vulkan API.
Croteam has just released Serious Sam 3 VR, and has updated all its previous Serious Sam games. As such, the team should be ready now to put all of its resources to the development of Serious Sam 4. Hopefully. Unless the game is under development hell!

inb4 it’s Talos Principle 2 before SS4.
Please don’t twist the knive in my wound.
I actually really liked Talos Principle, but I’m way more hyped for another fast paced shooter considering how few there are left.
Oh don’t get me wrong, Talos is a pretty good first person puzzle game… I just wish for a new Sam game (that’s in first person and not VR) since it’s been years now.
I loved the whole Fusion project they released earlier this year. I wish more developers would patch their series in a single improved engine.
Literally, cannot wait for this. It would be nice if we finally get to face off against Mental! It is rare nowadays to see a company that is so focused and dedicated to their IP that they pour all their efforts into only that. I believe that every SS game really smacks of quality and care. Yes, even Serious Sam 2. It was a bit of a repetative acid trip, but you could tell you were playing a Croteam game because of the attention to environment, music, and adrenaline feuled FPS action. I for one would like more of that, and if Serious Sam 4 can bring me some, they had better hurry!
Serious Sam 4 at the same quality as nuDoom or better and with Serious Sam goodness and you know the graphics will own could be amazing!
I have a real good feeling about it and think it will be very good, they seem to be aware of the other FPS in the market and they have skills and their engine tech is always solid
Can’t wait as well.
Almost as lame as commenting out of boredom…
Duh, This guy makes an article everytime Denuvo gets cracked.
No offense John.
Denuvo is Satan’s first born. The more that damned thing gets rendered invalid the more calls for celebration. So yeah, such is worthy of an article in its own right.
This is the only thing I know about Croatia.
I dunno, looks too “indie” for me. I’ll hold out for the real deal.
No surprise, they’re seemingly hard at work on Serious Sam Fusion & they’ve still (supposedly) got that Serious Sam 2 remake currently in development which I expect they want to add to SS Fusion as well, so, yeah, it makes sense to put SS4 on hold for a while, at least.
Nope, the PC gaming industry survived just fine 10 years ago when far less stringent anti-piracy measures were in place. Denuvo and others literally only punish the legitimate paying customer. Make better games, and people will buy them since there will always be pirates. We need sites like DSO to call useless DRM for what it is.
