Per celebrare i 20 anni di Serious Sam, insieme all’enorme aggiornamento di Serious Sam 4, Croteam ha pubblicato un nuovo aggiornamento di Serious Sam 2 (2005). Creato da uno dei modder di spicco di Serious Sam 2 e dai membri di lunga data di Croteam Nathan Brown, questo aggiornamento offre una serie di miglioramenti al gameplay, oltre a 12 mappe multiplayer inedite.
Questo il changelog completo:
Serious Sam 2 Update 2.90
- 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.
