We finally have a release date for Serious Sam HD, or at least, a release date for the PC version.  Expect to kick names and take ass on November 24th with up to 15 of your friends in co-op.  This was announced in an exclusive trailer posted on Eurogamer's website.

You can read our short hands on preview with the game from PAX 09.  We came away impressed, and are itching to dive into the chaos with one of the largest and most insane co-op gatherings I've ever witnessed.  There's going to be a lot of exploding harpies.

You can preorder the game right now on Steam for only $18.  There's still no word on whether or not the XBLA version, which contains four player co-op, would be released the following day on November 25th.

Devolver Digital's Twitter account has announced that Serious Sam HD has gone gooooooooold for the PC.  The PC version of the game is going to have "at least" 16 player co-op play throughout the game.  

The remake of the classic game is done in Croteam's new Serious Engine 3.0 and will also be available on the Xbox Live Arcade about the same time as the PC release.  Sadly the Xbox version will only support four players.  At least it still has sunshine and lollipops though...right?

Sure Serious Sam is all about kicking ass and taking names in the name of ass kickery.  Normally Sam likes to blow his enemies into tiny bloody bits, generally making a red mess wherever he goes, and a wake of destruction behind him.  

But Serious Sam HD isn't all serious, no sir-ree.  In the Super Happy Fun Time mode of the game you can disable the blood and instead of enemies explode in bunches of confetti, candy, and flowers!   Suddenly yesterday's M rated title is tomorrow's kid friendly co-op game.

Their eyes melted from the awesome-ity of the trailer!

I was already fairly excited about the upcoming over-the-top shooter remake Serious Sam HD.  That's before I watched the new trailer.  Now, the rest of my life pales in significance compared to Serious Sam HD.  I am planning to rob a hardware store for the parts to build a time machine tonight.  Once the machine is built, I can travel to the future, September 9, to be exact, so I can start playing Serious Sam HD.  Watch the trailer at your own peril, unless you plan to become a time traveler as well.

You're gonna need help with these Harpies!

If you're looking for a variety of weapons, enemies, and awesomeness with a dash of co-op, Serious Sam HD is where you need to be. Seriously. The latest Serious Sam HD trailer has an epic soundtrack that almost seems ironic given the style of humor associated with Serious Sam, while still complementing the visuals and gameplay shown very nicely. We also get a glimpse at the various weapons and enemies of the game, and an idea of how smooth this FPS is going to glide when you finally get your hands on it!
