However, as Serious Sam 3: BFE shows, getting to the Time-Lock isn't as easy as planned.Īfter the events of Serious Sam 3: BFE, Sam ends up in the Temple of Hatshepsut and starts his journey to find the elements, which are the four keys to Thebes, and houses the only way to bring the SSS Centerprice to Earth. The person chosen to go through the Time-Lock is Serious Sam because of how he can easily go against hordes of monsters and survive. It's a desperate plan, but humanity is all out of options. He won't expect someone to fight him one on one while he's busy doing something else. A plan is devised using the Time-Lock, someone journeys back in time, summons the SSS Centerprice, flies to parts of Sirius' old trading routes, then uses the ships there to sneak up on and fight Mental while he's busy fighting off the Sirians. It turns out the machine was last used in Ancient Egypt, which would be when Mental was finishing off the Sirians. One of the scientists points out that a time-traveling device called the Time-Lock was found in the Sirian ruins. Mental's forces are invading Earth, humanity's last stronghold, and there's no way to stop him. One of the heroes during these battles is Serious Sam, who constantly and ruthlessly fights off every alien he encounters.Īfter many battles, humanity is now doomed.
His power and craziness earns him the name "Mental". After being woken up, Chaad Sheen manages to defeat the humans, one battle after another. He decides to go through it, which was actually an ancient alarm system for Chaad Sheen designed to wake him up as fail-safe in case he hadn't exterminated all intelligent life in the universe. While exploring Sirius, Sam "Serious" Stone, a Captain in the Earth Defense Force, discovers a large asteroid belt surrounding the planet that was never mentioned in the old Sirian archives. Humanity ignored the Sirian's warnings about Chaad Sheen and traveled through the universe with technology based on a Sirian spaceship that was located on one of Saturn's moons the SSS Centerprice. However, they were wiped out by a mysterious being called Chaad Sheen, who apparently appeared in the universe in order to wipe out all intelligent life once every 100,000 years. This technology is from the Sirians, an extinct species that were quite similar to humans. Now there is still one more date in that gun and since the next part of the Serious Sam franchise will be Serious Sam 4, we are pretty sure that Croteam hints at a December 2017 release.Ĭroteam has not confirmed anything yet, but this does sound plausible.In the near future, humanity has uncovered advanced alien technology in Egypt which has allowed humans to travel into the farthest reaches of space. And last but not least, Serious Sam: The Last Hope was released in October 2016. Serious Sam 2 was released on October 11 2005, whereas Serious Sam 3: BFE was released on November 22nd 2011. Serious Sam: The First Encounter was released on March 21st 2001, while Serious Sam: The Second Encounter was released on February 2nd 2002. And we are saying ‘interesting’ because the first five of them are basically the release dates for previous Serious Sam games. In Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope, Sam’s weapon has six interesting dates on it. And this easter egg from Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope may have actually revealed the release date for this new Serious Sam game. We all know that Croteam is currently working on the fourth part of the Serious Sam series.
