Mr.Talha Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 It’s been over a year since the release of Serious Sam 4 and publisher Devolver Digital is now teasing a wintery DLC expansion of some sort, which looks like it’ll either drop later this month or sometime next year – which may be connected to the surprise launch of the Serious Sam 4 Game Pass release earlier this week. Serious Sam 4 released in September 2020 to pretty good reviews for the most part, with our own reviewer calling it “a ridiculously enjoyable experience” despite the flaws. There have been a few updates since then, including some big changes to the France level, but there hasn’t been a major posting since the Steam Workshop release in March. There certainly hasn’t been any word about DLC or expansions by developer Croteam or Devolver Digital, but that’s now changed thanks to the teaser trailer posted today – which you can see below. It shows Sam travelling by boat to an icy land and complaining that it’s cold, then the Serious Sam logo appears and freezes up. It certainly seems to be teasing a new DLC of some sort. Since Serious Sam 4 is about fighting over different parts of Europe it could be set in somewhere northern like Norway. Regardless, fans immediately spotted the “22” on the buoy that intros the teaser – which most likely is about the expansion releasing in 2022, although an appearance on December 22 would be a nice surprise. The Serious Sam series has never quite hit the best FPSs on PC but they’re always lots of old-school fun, particularly in co-op, so more Serious Sam 4 is welcome news. Let’s hope it’s out sooner rather than later, then. Thanks to the consistent updates from Gaijin Entertainment, War Thunder fans are rarely left wanting for new content. This time around, fans can enjoy the Ground Breaking update, which adds a huge array of new content to the game. Here are the key additions. DESTRUCTIBLE TERRAIN It wouldn’t be a Ground Breaking update if you weren’t actually able to break some ground. The new update will allow you to mani[CENSORED]te the very earth beneath your feet, creating new strategic possibilities for ground troops. Bombs and large calibre guns will now leave craters in the ground for units to hide in, while certain tanks equipped with dozer blades can push the earth around to dig out trenches for their allies to hide behind. This new change will add a whole new layer of strategy to every match, so start planning your terrain tactics now. BATTLE PASS SEASON 5 Completionists will be thrilled to learn that a new battle season has begun. As always, players can work their way through stages of rewards, from new vehicles to exciting bonuses like decals and 3D decorations. This season, fans can look forward to adding the light amphibious tank, the LVT-4/40, to their fleet, as well as the nimble and heavily armed boat, the PT-658, and plenty of other vehicles and trinkets. The main attraction for this Battle Pass is the USSR light tank, the PT-76-57, a strong and compact vehicle fitted with an automatic cannon. PLAY FOR FREE NEW GUIDED AIRCRAFT BOMBS Fans who’ve been paying attention will know that the last update, Direct Hit, added the first guided aerial bombs to the game, and this month that arsenal grows with new guided bombs for aircraft. New additions to the guided bomb armoury include the US-made AGM-62 Walleye I ER and French BGL-400 and BGL-1000. NEW NATION – ISRAEL A new playable nation has arrived in War Thunder, the Middle Eastern country of Israel. The Israeli armed forces are considered one of the most combat-ready armies in the world, with an armoury of foreign vehicles and advanced domestic machines. This nation comes with a new aviation tech tree, featuring aircraft including the Spitfire LF Mk IXe, the personal aircraft of Ezer Weizman, an RAF veteran pilot who later became the commander of the Israeli Air Force. You can also look forward to piloting the A-4E Skyhawk, a late Isreali modification of one of the best strike aircraft in the game. WIESEL ARMOURED VEHICLES Fans of German armour will be pleased to note that the Ground Breaking update adds three vehicles from the highly-anticipated Wiesel series. Nicknamed ‘cockroaches’, these ultra-compact tanks come equipped with powerful cannons, capable of taking down helicopters and low-flying aircraft. There are three models on the way: the Wiesel 1A4, the Wiesel 1A2, and the Ozelot.
