Devolver Digitial, Majesco Entertainment and Croteam have today announced the upcoming launch of the latest remake of cult gaming classic: Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter for Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360®, PC DVD and download set to release this Spring. Completely rebuilt in glorious HD using the ‘Serious 3 Engine’, Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter features an onslaught of all-new levels, enemies and bosses for Sam to contend with. Fortunately he’s got a few new ‘upgrades’ of his own.

Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter will see Sam blasting his way past Lord Mental’s army through Mayan ruins of South America, towering ziggurats of ancient Mesopotamia and the savage realm of medieval Europe. Old friends like the Beheaded Kamikaze, Syrian Werebull and Kleer Skeleton are back, along with five new types of baddies and three new bosses for Sam to entertain. Luckily, our hero has a huge arsenal of 14 ‘bring-the-pain’ weapons at his disposal, including three new toys: the Sniper Rifle, Flamethrower and Chainsaw.

Co-op mode is back with players able to join forces in frantic, first-person shooter action across 12 maps that include a brand spanking new Deathmatch mode along with Cooperative, Capture the Flag and Survival.

Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter will remind players why they got into playing games in the first place: to blow stuff up and will be available for Xbox LIVE Arcade, PC DVD and to download via Steam and Get Games from Spring 2010.
