Serious Sam 2 Gets New Content 15 Years Later

Official content at that

Serious Sam 2 has been out for 15 years, but that hasn't stopped developer Croteam from adding to the game to celebrate the Serious Sam franchise's 20 year anniversary. The new content includes a weapon, a dozen multiplayer maps, and several quality of life improvements. 

Best of all, all of these updates are available for players of the PC version in teh game's 6 player online co-op mode. The full update notes are below. The game is available on Steam for $10.

Serious Sam 2 Update 2.90 Changelog

 

What’s new:

 
  • Sam can now wield a brand new weapon called the BeamGun (aka The Ghost Buster from the original Serious Sam design document)
  • Enemy multiplier option is now available in singleplayer and co-op. Go, create your own Legion System in Serious Sam 2.
  • Duke it out on 12 previously unreleased multiplayer maps, coming to you straight from the dusty basement at Croteam HQ. Those include Yodeller, Stadium, Hole, Desert Temple, and more.
  • A brand new Flame-Thrower weapon is now available to all you modders out there, and so is the napalm item, so you can feed it.
  • Sam finally learned to dual wield all of his toys. That’s pretty cool if I do say so myself.
  • You know what else is cool? The ability to sprint. Well, Sam can do that now, too.
  • He can also Rocket Jump, just like in the classics.
  • Get lost no more with the brand new Enemy, NPC, and Objective radar.
