Ja, richtig gelesen. Ein Story Trailer. Story. S T O R Y.
Considering the franchise it belongs to, we’re fairly certain that a Story Trailer is the last thing you’d expect. And yet, here we are.
For the first time in series history, Serious Sam 4 will deliver a story worthy of a movie. Penned by Jonas and Verena Kyratzes, Serious Sam 4 will take you on an exciting adventure full of defiance, badassery, absolute mayhem, and Sam’s iconic one-liners.
Oozing straight from the proverbial feather quill of Jonas and Verena Kyratzes comes a story about defiance to an evil alien god eager to bring the Earth to an end. Serious Sam 4 is aiming to become a real B-movie of games, with an over-the-top plot, memorable characters, and – most importantly – heart.
„The first thing we had to do was make sure it was a Serious Sam story,“ says Jonas Kyratzes. „We had a lot of conversations with the rest of the team where we just talked about getting the tone right. It had to be funny, but not a parody. It’s pulpy, but quite earnest.“
„The Serious Sam games all require a strategic approach to play well. They’re silly and chaotic, but they’re not dumb. So we wanted a story that was exactly like that.“ – added Verena Kyratzes.
Joining John J. Dick as Serious Sam is a cast of amazingly talented actors, including Erica Lindbeck, Joe Lynch, Zach Valenti, Simon Paisley Day, and Wally Wingert, portraying iconic veteran characters, as well as new faces.
