Croteam announces split screen support in the Windows edition of Serious Sam 3: BFE, saying the upcoming first-person shooter prequel will come with four-player split screen campaign cooperative and multiplayer versus modes. "Serious Sam games are known for frantic campaign coop and multiplayer modes so we wanted to make sure that Serious Sam 3: BFE dials up the chaos even more with local split screen co-op at launch," said Alen Ladavac, Lead Programmer at developer Croteam. "Serious Sam fans have been very vocal on the Facebook fan page and the forums about split screen modes so we wanted to make sure we exceeded their expectations."

Here's the explanation of how four players can play on the same computer:

Using a mouse and keyboard in combination with up to three game pads on a PC, Serious Sam fans will be able to battle together through the twelve levels of mayhem and go head-to-head in Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Survival, Beast Hunt and other multiplayer modes in Serious Sam 3: BFE.
