Majesco Entertainment, Devolver Digital and Croteam Announce 'Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter' For Xbox Live Arcade

EDISON, N.J., April 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- If the First Encounter was memorable, then the Second will blow your mind. Majesco Entertainment, an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced that Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter is coming to Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Developed by Croteam, the creators of the Serious Sam franchise, and produced in partnership with Devolver Digital, Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter continues the glorious high-definition chaos with a slick new graphic presentation, intense multiplayer action, and an onslaught of all-new levels, enemies and bosses. This expertly re-vamped iteration of the original cranks the Serious Engine 3 to maximum carnage to deliver the trademark over-the-top-action that is synonymous with the golden age of first-person shooters.

Traveling through the crumbling Mayan ruins of South America, towering ziggurats of ancient Mesopotamia and the savage realm of medieval Europe, Second Encounter players will fend off never-ending waves of Lord Mental's Army. These warriors include old friends like the Beheaded Kamikaze, Syrian Werebull and Kleer Skeleton, along with five new types of baddies and three new bosses for Sam to "play with." 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.

For those fans who don't want to go at it alone, the game's co-op mode lets up to four players ratchet up the mayhem across 12 maps that include a brand spanking new Deathmatch mode along with Cooperative, Capture the Flag and Survival. Featuring BIG guns, TONS of enemies, loads of achievements and more than 100 delightful secrets to discover, Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter will remind players why they got into playing games in the first place: to blow stuff up.
