Croteam have decided to resurrect the original Serious Sam and bring him back to life in HD on PC and on Xbox Live Arcade. Majesco will publish the XBLA version this summer, while CDV is handling the PC version (digital download and retail) later on this fall.

"We are really excited to update our hero and recreate Sam in stunning high definition for Xbox LIVE Arcade players," said Roman Ribaric, CEO of Croteam. "The fans have lobbied us hard to do this, so we are stoked about bringing Sam back as big, bold and bad as he ever was."

Ribaric continues in the press release dedicated to the PC version:

"We have been really excited to see Sam being recreated in stunning high definition and to have the opportunity to truly update our hero. The fans of Sam have never gone away and have been lobbying us hard to do this, so we are really excited to be able to confirm that Sam will be back as big, bold and bad as he ever was and we are really stoked about introducing Sam to new gamers as well as his loyal fans."
