A Switch eShop listing for Serious Sam Collection has revealed that the shooter compilation will be heading to Nintendo's platform next week.
As spotted by Nintendo Everything, the listing reveals that players will get their hands on Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter, Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter, and Serious Sam 3: BFE, as well as The Legend of the Beast and Jewel of the Nile expansions, as part of the collection. Serious Sam Collection launched on Google Stadia earlier this year, as seen in the trailer above.
Here's an official description:
Experience one of the most explosive shooter game series of all time as you save the world from a merciless alien invasion. Visit the ruins of ancient Egypt and roam through the vivid arenas of South America fighting seemingly never-ending hordes of enemies using an extremely destructive arsenal including shotguns, heavy lasers, rocket launchers, a huge cannon and an iconic minigun.
Tired of playing alone? Go to war against Mental’s horde with up to 4 players in local co-op, blasting your way through the campaign or the stand-alone survival mode. Finally, put your skills to the test against other players in classic multiplayer modes including Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and more.
The game will be available on Switch from 17th November with pricing set at $29.99.
One for the wishlist? Feel free to share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

This looks cool
@Shiryu
You seem excited for this game
4 player Local Coop is impressive. I expect DF to do an analysis of this.
@Shiryu BOOM!!! ... Oh no the flashbacks...
Great collection and a decent price (for a change). Let's just hope enough people buy it so that we aren't just sat in empty lobbies waiting for a match.
Hopefully this will sell well and we will see a port of 4 come across as well.
Awesome news! Serious Sam is loads of fun.
@EngineerMario
Play the game, you'll get what the guy means straight away.
What's a "Google Stadia"?
@Shiryu Erm... yeah, alrighty then.
Ah) Probably two years ago I made a wishlist of all the old games I want to see on the Switch - and Serious Sam was one of them. This is exciting news! But hold on... No love for Serious Sam 2? Oh, come on!! Yeah, it was kinda stupid and too colorful but still loads of fun!
Hail to the King, baby! Oh wait, wrong game. Oops.
@AlexSora89
Im going to wait till theres a lot of people playing so i can do the co-op
Hell yeah! SAM I AM
Can we get a discounted version that doesn't include SS3?
I think I rented this game for the Game Cube. Although I don't remember if it was the 2nd or the 3rd game. It had a scoring system and after killing many enemies, I'll have some kind of bonus and hear a "YEEHAW" when the bonus activates. I could be wrong though, as that was a long time ago and I didn't play it a lot because it was difficult for me.
The price is very tempting, but I will hold off for some gameplay and performance vids first. I remember it was a very taxing game on the hardware...
@Shiryu I bet you just finished your milk before reaching the last cookie in the pack right? - that's my usual reaction
I just played through Talos Principle and it's DLC and it was a really really good game so I'd be interested in trying these out
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGG
@Shiryu yeah, my most vivid childhood memory about the short acquaintance with the franchise back then. "I have no mouth and I WILL scream"
This was crazy fun when it first came out. Might have to give it another go.
Wow! They're actually doing it!
It's a shame I can't play with my high quality sound pack though.
Damn, it almost makes me sad that people do not get @Shiryu reference!
Serious Sam II was loads of fun back when I played it on PC, but I did not enjoy BFE. Let's see the price tag on this one
@Shiryu Best comment yet!
Hope the resolution and performance are above the bare min 720p/30fps
Great news! I've really enjoyed my time with the games I've played in the series (1, 2 and the GameCube one). Really fun shooters, really happy to have this trilogy on Switch.
If every game has campaign co-op i cant not want this.
@Shiryu AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaa yourself. (Dont actually mean it)
Never tried them but I've just finished Turok, Duke 3D and Doom '93. Hopefully this'll scratch this consistent itch I seem to have for retro shooters.
@VinniVinni well, SS2 did receive some mean reviews over the years, so I guess they decided that’s it’s not worth the investment. Pity, quite some time ago this game was my best guilty pleasure. Would love to see it on Switch.
To quote the words of the man himself: "Croteam Rules."
Wow, a rumor/leak directly from the eShop? That's believable for once then haha. Well i guess you can't actually call it a rumor, this is pretty much official, isn't it
Yeaaaah! Love me some Serious Sam!
Since Doom Eternal on switch is delayed indefinitely, this will do nicely. Trailer looks good. Hope the switch version runs well. Excited for this!
Where does it say online Co-op?
@VinniVinni my bad. I played only a little of the first game but depending the co-op, reviews, and the fact that this is a low priced collection im interested in this.
I hope it will be playable locally with multiple Switchs. Would be a nice game for some Buddy Nights on two Beamers!
These games look cool. Why have I never heard of them before?
Seeing as this was never made backwards compatible with Xbox One, I'd be up for double dipping on a modern console.
Yes my wish had came true, now I will get this collection for Switch instead of investing in Stadia.
Awesome news! Had great fun with these games on the 360!! How bout Other systems? Retail version??
RIP Serious Sam 2
oof, my wallet is really starting to hurt this year. Hopefully the local multiplayer means same console split screen and not local wireless but either way I am pretty sure I'll be triple dipping on this set to go along with my steam and 360 copy that doesn't have local mp.
PLEASE PLEASE let it have ONLINE pvp/co-op!!!
I really wish SS2 and Next Encounter were part of this. I'd very quickly pay for those as DLC.
Still, even as it is, I'm very interested in getting this.
@Diddy64 Next Encounter was the game cube version. It was a new, spin off entry. I really enjoyed it.
CAN NOT WAIT TO STORM THE PYRAMIDS WITH A MINI GUN
Wow, a collection of three nearly identical games. Croteams The Talos principle was great endeavour though.
Really hoping split screen comes to the Switch. I miss goldeneye style local multiplayer with my friends!
@Richnj I see. Thanks for clarifying me. It's possible that I enjoy it now that I have more experience with first person shooters. I was like 12 years when I try it and I started getting better with shooters when later I played Metroid Prime 2. Sorry for replying late.
Ahh great. $29.99 ... must mean it’s £29.99 😑 fantastic games but I’ll wait until they’re at least 50% off if we’re getting ripped off again/as usual.
Also, at only 4.1gb, where’s the physical option?
