Serious Sam 4 will be released next month, publisher Devolver Digital and developer Croteam have confirmed yesterday during the 'Devolver Direct' event. The game will be out on PC (Steam) and Stadia, priced at $39.99; consoles will have to wait that the Stadia period of exclusivity expires.

　　A new gameplay trailer was shared for the occasion, which we have embedded below.

　　Humanity is under siege as the full force of Mental’s hordes spread across the world, ravaging what remains of a broken and beaten civilization. The last remaining resistance to the invasion is the Earth Defense Force led by Sam “Serious” Stone and his heavily-armed squad of misfit commandos.

　　Croteam returns with Serious Sam 4, a high-powered prequel to the Serious Sam series that scales up chaos to unprecedented levels. The classic Serious Sam formula is revamped by putting an unstoppable arsenal up against an unimaginable number of enemies that requires players to circle-strafe and backpedal-blast their way out of impossible situations.
