Croteam announces a release date for Serious Sam 4, saying this prequel to the madcap Serious Sam series of first-person shooters will be released in August. The Serious Sam Website currently redirects to Steam where they are accepting preorders for the Windows version and offering the previous installments in the series with some serious discounts. Word is: "Serious Sam 4 is scheduled for release in August 2020 via Steam and Stadia. Digital pre-orders are open now on Steam, and include a classic Tommy Gun in-game weapon skin, as a throwback to the series’ early days." They also serve up several videos: A cinematic trailer and gameplay/interview videos showing Serious Battles, Serious Enemies, Serious Weapons, Serious Music, and a new Legion System. Here's more on the game:

Humanity is under siege as the full force of Mental’s hordes spread across the world, ravaging what remains of a broken and beaten civilization. The last remaining resistance to the invasion is the Earth Defense Force led by Sam “Serious” Stone and his heavily-armed squad of misfit commandos.

Croteam returns with a high-powered prequel to the Serious Sam series that scales up chaos to unprecedented levels. The classic Serious Sam formula is revamped by putting an unstoppable arsenal up against an unimaginable number of enemies that requires players to circle-strafe and backpedal-blast their way out of impossible situations.
