Serious Sam developer CroTeam has released the first time/screenshot of the upcoming Serious Sam 3. According to the developer, the image shows a new enemy called “Scrapjack”. You can find a big version on the team’s Facebook page here.

A few more details have been released, including a co-op feature where up to 16 players can play the campaign together. Finally, the game will be officially titled “Serious Sam 3: BFE”. We dunno what BFE stands for, but I’m sure we’ll find out very soon.

CroTeam, the Croatian developers of Serious Sam HD, have announced that they’ll be releasing a “Gold Edition” of the game on Steam on Thursday. The Gold Edition includes Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter and Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter, and both original editions of both games. Price: $40.

Croteam has revealed that the Xbox 360 version of Serious Sam HD, the HD reboot of the old, and popular game, will be released this Wednesday on the Xbox 360, and will cost 1200 Microsoft Points ($15). The game has already been released on the PC, and has been met rather successfully by fans of the old game.

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.
