Hi everyone! Its been a while since we last featured a mod on these here pages, but times are tough. The pandemic, a new game release (check out Serious Sam 4 if you havent already, my guy), and a bunch of earthquakes all had an impact on what's happening in and around Croteam. However, we havent forgotten about our great modding community or the players who enjoy them. It just so happens that another cool mod has landed on the Serious Sam Fusion Workshop today, and what makes that one special is that Im a playable character. All jokes aside, Seriously Retro: Karnak 1996 is an absolutely amazing total conversion mod which takes you back in time. Sam is super low-poly again, and hes revisiting his old friends in the Karnak Temple. As the authors say, the mod brings a bunch of changes to the original, which include reworked battles, secrets, and traps, as well as environments. The mod is even ready for VR! Check out this cool Seriously Retro - Karnak 1996 trailer below, then grab your mice or put on your VR headsets, and get shootin.

Yasen has been locked up under the Croteam HQ and luring in prey for weeks. The first ones to fall for his traps are the authors of todays featured mod. Nitronik, Movento, and ToxicSwarm spoke about the motivation behind the mod and gave us a little insight into how it came to be.
