Press release:
PREPARE FOR EXTERMINATION. Multiversal roguelite Serious Sam: Shatterverse has finally dropped its substantial load onto PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 priced €19.99. Pick it up during launch week and enjoy an extra 10% discount, perfect to take advantage of the massive Serious Sam franchise sale on Steam!
Developed by Behaviour Interactive, the creators of Dead By Daylight, this fresh take on boomer shooter classic Serious Sam brings oh-so-modern cooperative and roguelite elements to the series’ trademark over-the-top FPS action. Up to five players can team up, blast through shifting universes, stack wild boons, bend the rules with run modifiers, and hunt the deadliest forces of Sam’s relentless arch-nemesis, the villainous Mental.
Mental’s maniacal machinations have fractured the walls between universes, and now Sams from multiple dimensions must learn to work together to repair the Shatterverse. You’ll travel across shifting universes to finish battles other Sams couldn’t, fighting alongside alternate versions of yourself to defeat the big bad’s five nefarious lieutenants.
Or, if you’re vehemently antisocial or just have no friends, blast through the exact same Serious Sam: Shatterverse experience offline in solo mode!
“Reviving the legendary gunplay, massive enemy hordes, and unforgettable bosses that Serious Sam is known for, while blasting into bold new roguelike territory was challenging, but extremely rewarding,” comments Behaviour Interactive’s Nic Duchesne.
“We hope Shatterverse will welcome newcomers and excite longtime fans, and deliver a fun, social, and – most importantly – complete experience designed to last. Everything we did over the course of the last several years was fueled by incredible community feedback, and we can’t wait for players to assemble their squads, crush Mental’s hordes, and save the Samverse!”
