Croteam and Devolver Digital have announced Serious Sam 3: Jewel of the Nile. This expansion pack for Serious Sam 3: BFE is set for a PC release in October. Croteam’s Davor Hunski claims that the expansion “tells more of Sam’s story and cranks up the insanity.” Having played through some of it, I’m surprised to learn that Serious Sam 3 had a story (other than “go kill these monsters”).
According to the press release, the expansion will feature three new campaign missions set around the Temple of Isis on the real life Egyptian island of Philae. Devolver Digital’s Fork Parker posed the question as to whether Philae had any nude beaches, adding that “the only thing better than fast-paced, over-the-top action is a perfect pair of digital flesh melons.” Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to be the case in real life. However, reality doesn’t feature hordes of screaming headless guys running around with bombs grafted on their hands, either. So, the developers shouldn’t feel constrained by anything remotely resembling reality.
