Serious Sam 2 gets major update 15 years after release with new weapons and levels

Developer Croteam has released a ‘surprise update’ for Serious Sam 2. The fifteen-year-old game gets new weapons, gameplay improvements and twelve new multiplayer levels. The game hadn’t received any updates in years.

Croteam writes on Steam that Serious Sam 2 has always had a special place in their hearts and that Nathan Brown, one of the developers, has been working on the “ultimate Serious Sam 2 update” for the past few months. Version 2.90 adds dual wielding, new weapons including the BeamGun and twelve new multiplayer maps.

Also after the update, Sam can sprint and make rocket jumps, and a radar has been added that allows players to find enemies, NPCs and targets. The game is currently on sale on Steam for two euros. The Serious Sam franchise has been around for twenty years now; the first part appeared on March 21, 2001. The Croatian Croteam released Serious Sam 4 last year.
