We all know that Croteam is currently working on the fourth part of the Serious Sam series. And this easter egg from Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope may have actually revealed the release date for this new Serious Sam game.

In Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope, Sam’s weapon has six interesting dates on it. And we are saying ‘interesting’ because the first five of them are basically the release dates for previous Serious Sam games.

Serious Sam: The First Encounter was released on March 21st 2001, while Serious Sam: The Second Encounter was released on February 2nd 2002. Serious Sam 2 was released on October 11 2005, whereas Serious Sam 3: BFE was released on November 22nd 2011. And last but not least, Serious Sam: The Last Hope was released in October 2016.

Now there is still one more date in that gun and since the next part of the Serious Sam franchise will be Serious Sam 4, we are pretty sure that Croteam hints at a December 2017 release.

Croteam has not confirmed anything yet, but this does sound plausible.
