Serious Sam 4 is a singleplayer and multiplayer sci-fi FPS game developed by Croteam and published by Devolver Digital. Despite being the fourth main entry in the Serious Sam series, Serious Sam 4 is a direct prequel to Serious Sam 3: BFE, making it the second-earliest game in the series' chronology after Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope. Serious Sam 4 runs on the latest version of Croteam's Serious Engine, which was upgraded with new graphical capabilities and the ability to support over 100,000 enemies on-screen at once.[1] Although it was initially stated that the game could be played in co-op with up to 16 players,[2] this limit was reduced to 4 some time before release.[3]
Serious Sam 4 was announced on April 18, 2018 as Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass, though this subtitle was later dropped for localization reasons.[4] It was re-announced without the subtitle in May 2020 with a release date of August,[5] but was delayed to September 24,[6] where it was released for Windows on Steam and GOG.com simultaneously. It was plagued with issues at launch, with players experiencing crashes, performance issues, and graphical bugs.[7] Reviews were divided; many praised its adherence to the series' classic formula, but criticized a perceived lack of polish that had arisen from a seemingly-rushed release.[8] However, the most severe bugs were fixed in patches in the following days and weeks.
As of October 2020, Croteam continues to develop the game by fixing bugs, improving gameplay elements, and implementing features requested by the community.[9]
