The Serious Sam game franchise is back with a new entry, giving the FPS series a co-op roguelite twist. Basically it’s getting the Nightreign treatment in the same way Elden Ring did.

The latest title is Serious Sam: Shatterverse, where teams of up to five players will take on waves of perennial foe Mental’s monster goons. Each run will offer the usual roguelite approach of upgrade options to make your team more powerful. And if you’re a long-time fan of the series, the trailer has plenty of the same broad, loud humor; for instance, the three upgrade cards shown are all ball jokes. Behavior Interactive, the studio behind Dead by Daylight, is helming the project.

Serious Sam: Shatterverse will arrive on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox on PC and Xbox Cloud some time this year. Considering the first quarter is nearly over, the team is probably targeting the second half of 2026, but that’s only a guess.
