Last time we heard about the XBLA version of Serious Sam HD: First Encounter, a release date of January 13 had been announced. Impatient fans of mindless running n’ gunning, however, will be thrilled to learn that Croteam’s rather splendid HD remake is coming a little earlier. Next week, in fact.
The information comes by way of Digital Devolver: “Serious Sam HD on its way to XBLA next week. About damn time!”
Serious Sam HD made its way to PC all the way back in November, and console gamers have been impatiently tapping their feet as they awaited the XBLA version. As Digital Devolver says, it is about damn time. If you’ve not played the PC version already, then this is a game I can highly recommend if you want to switch your brain off and just indulge in some ludicrous first-person violence.
[Update: FAIL! Apparently Digital Devolver’s idea of “next week” is different from our idea of “next week.” The release date is still January 13.]
