Following up on final week’s tease, Devolver Digital has now formally unveiled Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem, a standalone growth to Severe Sam 4 created by indie developer Timelock Studio, previously a well known Severe Sam modding staff, that is engaged on the challenge below the steering of unique Severe Sam studio Croteam.
Siberian Mayhem options 5 “large” new ranges set within the rugged Russian north, with motion operating throughout the Arctic coast, desolate forests, deserted villages, and even a ghost city. New enemies and executives will be part of the unique horde, to be splattered in enjoyable and fascinating methods with new weapons and automobiles together with snowmobiles and new mechs.
It is clearly nonetheless very a lot the outdated Severe Sam, although, which is to say large hordes of ridiculous enemies charging the participant from all instructions whereas bullets fly and every part explodes. That is not a foul factor—actually, it is the essence of the Severe Sam expertise, and I’m completely right here for that—however as I mentioned when the brand new sport was first teased, I hope that together with all the brand new stuff in Siberian Mayhem, the designers have additionally tightened up the extent designs. Huge ranges are nice, however roaming aimlessly for minutes at a time by means of open, empty areas (my chief grievance about Severe Sam 4) just isn’t.
Severe Sam: Siberian Mayhem is out there for wishlisting now on Steam, and will likely be obtainable at a “sizeable” low cost for homeowners of Severe Sam 4. (Sorry, no precise numbers simply but.) It is set to come back out on January 25.
