Shatterverse features five lieutenants of Uber Mental as mid-run boss encounters, each demanding a different team approach.<\/p>\n<p>Devolver Digital <a href=\"https:\/\/worthplaying.com\/article\/2026\/8\/7\/news\/150663-serious-sam-shatterverse-reveals-ps5-xbox-series-xs-and-pc-release-date-set-for-later-this-month-trailer\/\">put it simply<\/a>: <em>&#8220;Hold onto your butts, because multiversal multiplayer roguelite Serious Sam: Shatterverse is charging onto PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on Aug. 31.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ss-shatterverse-inline2.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Serious Sam: Shatterverse \u2014 boss encounter and enemy waves\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Devolver Digital \/ Behaviour Interactive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The developer behind the game is Behaviour Interactive \u2014 the Montreal studio best known for creating <em>Dead by Daylight<\/em>.
