New York, NY – April 20, 2005 – 2K Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), today announced Serious Sam II, the much-anticipated return of Sam “Serious” Stone to PC and the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft.

“Gamers have been anxiously anticipating a full sequel ever since Serious Sam: The Second Encounter was released back in 2002,” said Christoph Hartmann, Senior Vice President of Publishing for 2K Games. “The frantic action and lighthearted humor of Serious Sam really struck a chord with gamers worldwide, and with a brand new engine and greatly expanded gameplay, we think fans will agree that the return of Sam has been well worth the wait.”

“Our second generation Serious Engine allows us to create characters with over 100 times more detail than the last game,” added Roman Ribaric, CEO of Croteam Ltd, developers of Serious Sam II. “This has allowed us to create huge, lush environments and even crazier enemies than before, without having to scale back the gameplay in any way. Gamers can rest assured that with the capabilities of our new engine, we’re not only going to match the record we set with the first Serious Sam for the most enemies on screen at one time, we’re going to surpass it.”

Serious Sam II will be released for PC and Xbox in fall 2005, and will be showcased at 2K Games’ booth at this year’s E3 Expo. Look for the first details on the game in the June issue of Computer Games Magazine, featuring Serious Sam II as the cover story, on newsstands in early May.

Woohoo. Serious Sam kicks so much arse. I loved that last level when the baddies just seemed to never stop coming.

Have you seen the tech video for SS2?

Assuming it'll have the same crazy-awesome multiplayer coop (MAKE MORE FUCKING COOPERATIVE SHOOTERS YOU BASTARDS) then this'll be the game that gets me back into FPSs.

No, and I can't find it on Croteams website, linky please?

I never actually played SS multiplayer...single player was enough fun for me. I love those beefy american protagonists...you can stick your Gordon Freemans! Just give me muscles and cool one-liners...and a fuck off rocket launcher, and I'm happy.

It is set to keep co-op, which was just great fun even with the laggy odd servers around, and gain some more multiplayer modes from what I've read.

I love SS so much!!!! The level in the second encounter when you have to kill that big whirlwind thing is fucking insane, SO many monsters....its absolutely insane. The devs must have had a ball creating that game (compared to other games, anyway)

GIVE SSII!

Agree, in gaming terms SS is the definition of arcade, action and fun.

Same as the original Doom was and still is imo, 'cept SS/SS2 looks better and has much more depth to it. Is it fair to say Doom was a big influence over SS?
