What's Happening?
Behaviour Interactive, known for developing 'Dead by Daylight', is working on a new installment in the Serious Sam franchise, titled 'Serious Sam: Shatterverse'. This game is being published by Devolver Digital and was announced during the Xbox Partner
Showcase. Unlike previous games in the series, 'Shatterverse' is a cooperative first-person shooter where players, as a group of Sams from alternate dimensions, navigate shifting universes to repair the 'Shatterverse'. The game promises high-adrenaline combat, a mix of classic and new weapons, and procedurally generated runs across various arenas. It is set to launch later this year on Xbox Series, PS5, and PC.
Why It's Important?
The development of 'Serious Sam: Shatterverse' by Behaviour Interactive marks a significant expansion of the franchise, bringing a fresh perspective to the series.
