Serious Sam 3 Blows Up XBLA Next Week
Almost a full year after Serious Sam roared back to the PC, all that talk about a console version of the game is finally about to pay off. The release date for the Xbox Live Arcade version of Serious Sam 3: BFE is brought to us by none other than Sexy Mobile Helpline Operator Rich Knuckles, who appears to have done almost as well for himself on the back of Croteam's hard work as Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker. What a guy!
Because it was impossible to cram all the old-school manliness of Serious Sam 3 into a single XBLA game, it's being released in two separate chunks. Serious Sam 3: BFE will include the original single-player campaign and the online and split-screen co-op modes, while the Serious Sam 3: Jewel of the Nile expansion will include the add-on campaign plus all the multiplayer versus modes.
"Awesome, now I can go from getting absolutely annihilated by some loudmouth with a mouse and keyboard to getting annihilated by some loudmouth with an Xbox 360 controller," said Parker. "Damn these silky smooth thumbs."
Both BFE and Jewel of the Nile will hit the Xbox Live Aracde on October 17 and will be priced at 1200 Microsoft points each. And speaking of the Jewel of the Nile DLC, the PC version is coming one day in advance of the XBLA release - that's October 16 - with three new campaign missions, new bosses and even more guns. More guns! Because like the famous man once said, there's no problem in the world that can't be solved by shooting it in the face.
