Fans of the Serious Sam HD first person shooter shooter series will now be able to play the content of both the First Encounter and the Second Encounter in one game. As previously announced, the game's developer Croteam and publisher Devolver Digital have now released the Fusion DLC pack for Serious Sam HD The Second Encounter via Steam.

The pack adds all of the campaign and multiplayer levels from The First Encounter to the content of The Second Encounter, effectively "fusing" both games together. Players can get the Fusion pack for free if they own both The First Encounter and The Second Encounter versions of Serious Sam HD.

Mod makers who have been waiting to get official mod tools for the revamped versions of the Serious Sam first person shooters can get started now. Today publisher Devolver Digital announced that the beta release of the mod tools for Serious Engine 3 are now available to download for free via Steam for all owners of Serious Sam HD The Second Encounter.

The tools will allow mod makers to create new single, co-op and multiplayer maps for the first person shooter created by Croteam. The development team will be checking out the creations made by third parties and may even offer one multiplayer map creator a chance to have his or her map included in the upcoming Serious Sam 3 which also uses Serious Engine 3.

As promised a few weeks ago, the DRM-free download site GoG.com now has the exclusive rights to release the original version of Serious Sam: The Second Encounter. The 2002 released follow-up to developer Croteam's first person shooter is now available to purchase and download from GoG.com for just $9.99. That price also includes the game's soundtrack.

This is the original version of the game with the first edition version of Croteam's Serious Engine behind it. Earlier this year Croteam and publisher Devolver Digital released Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter, a graphically improved version of the game using Serious Engine 3. Currently Croteam is working on the next game in the series, Serious Sam 3, which will also use Serious Engine 3.
