If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know that Serious Sam HD just recently hit Steam on November 24th. Well, hot on the heel’s of the game’s release Croteam has come forth to announce that Serious Sam HD: The Next Encounter (an HD remake of the game with the same title minus HD) is in the works and will hit Steam in early 2010.

According to That Video Game Blog, the game will be released on both the PC and home consoles which means we may see it hit the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii, of course.

Croteam has recently released the above informerical for their forthcoming Xbox Live Arcade/PC title Serious Sam HD, notifying us all of the game’s awesomeness.

According to the commercial, the game runs at 6005 polygons per krundle which is made possible by their crack team of developers and all sorts of technology none of us would understand.

In all seriousness though this trailer gives us a look at the visuals featured in Serious Sam HD. As fans of the series are probably able to tell, all this game is, is a graphically enhanced version of Serious Sam: The First Encounter. Yes, awesome.

Fans of the popular Serious Sam franchise that first made its debut on the PC back in 2002 will be happy to hear that Croteam has announced a forthcoming XBLA version of the game.

Appropriately entitled Serious Sam HD, this port will apparently be a remastered version of the original title, The First Encounter. However it will include 4-player online-cop a feature that was absent from the original release.

You’ll be able to get Serious Sam HD for the XBLA towards the end of this summer for 1,200 Microsoft Points.

Serious Sam was first released in 2000, and won several awards, including Game of The Year from GameSpot. The sequel, Serious Sam – The Second Encounter, was released in 2002 on several platforms.
