Serious Sam 4, the game no-longer subtitled Planet Badass, is coming out on September 24. In advance of that, Croteam have put its system requirements out into the world and they’re surprisingly a bit hefty on the recommended side, calling for an 8-core CPU and a better graphics cards than even Microsoft Flight Simulator suggested.
It’s not a game we’re expecting to look as pretty as, say, Crysis Remastered, but it is apparently going to have “hundreds of thousands” of enemies on screen at once thanks to its Legion System, which will obviously have an impact. Here are the minimum and recommended specs, via the Serious Sam 4 Steam page.
