Serious Sam 3: BFE dated for XBLA

Croteam, Devolver Digital and Mastertronic have announced the first-person shooter Serious Sam 3: BFE will launch worldwide via Xbox LIVE Arcade on October 17th.

Developed by series creator Croteam, the Xbox LIVE Arcade version of last year’s PC arcade-style shooter has been converted to take full advantage of the Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE.

“Awesome, now I can go from getting absolutely annihilated by some loudmouth with a mouse and keyboard to getting annihilated by some loudmouth with an Xbox 360 controller,” said Fork Parker, Devolver Digital CFO.

Next week, Serious Sam fans around the world can download Serious Sam 3: BFE on Xbox LIVE Arcade for 1200 MS Points which includes the single-player, online cooperative, and spilt-screen cooperative campaign modes.

The brand-new Serious Sam 3: Jewel of the Nile campaign expansion and all multiplayer versus modes like Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Last Team Standing and My Burden will also be available at launch and priced at 1200 MS Points.

The game also has 25 savage achievements, multiple leaderboards, and local split-screen cooperative play. It was released on PC a year ago in 2011; for more info on the game be sure to read our Serious Sam 3: BFE Review.
