The iconic shooter franchise is back, and this time, things are getting seriously multidimensional. Serious Sam: Shatterverse is officially charging onto PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 on August 31.
Developed by Behaviour Interactive (the team famous for Dead by Daylight) this brand-new entry takes the trademark over-the-top, first-person shooter action and injects it with a fresh cooperative roguelite twist.
The series villain, Mental, has been busy fracturing the walls between universes. To stop his maniacal machinations and repair the Shatterverse, you will need to team up with alternate versions of yourself. It is a multiverse of Sams fighting together to finish battles that other versions could not survive, culminating in epic showdowns against five nefarious lieutenants.
Players can expect a gloriously irresponsible arsenal. You will mix classic guns from the franchise with entirely new weapons designed specifically for procedurally shifted runs across hand-crafted arenas. The battlefields are massive, the pressure is non-stop, and the perfectly timed one-liners are ready to roll while everything around you is on fire.
Whether you are navigating unstable anomalies or diving into hidden portals, every high-risk opportunity can either supercharge your run or end it instantly. However, you can push forward for greater rewards, unlocking permanent upgrades and powerful modifiers that expand your strategic possibilities against the massive hordes of returning foes and fresh monsters.
Ready to get your hands on the action early? You can join the open Playtest right now on Steam. For everyone else, clear your schedules for August 31. Head to serioussam.com to check out the details, and we will see you in the Shatterverse!
