Sumo Newcastle and Focus Home Interactive are pleased to announce Hood: Outlaws & Legends, a multiplayer PvPvE heist game coming soon to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Unveiled during Sony’s State of Play event, Hood: Outlaws & Legends puts players in the centre of a merciless, unchecked state where rebels and rogues from every corner battle to claim their place among legends. Gather your team of outlaws, outplay opponents in intense PvPvE multiplayer and attempt to steal treasure from an oppressive government in a dark and violent, medieval world.

On the reveal, Owen O’Brien, Studio Director at Sumo Newcastle, said: “It’s always an exciting moment when you finally get to reveal the game you have been working on behind closed doors for so long. With Hood: Outlaws & Legends, our aim was to create a dark and brutal re-imagining of the Robin Hood legend, pitting myth and superstition against man-made power and corruption. The team here in Newcastle are all passionate gamers, and over the past 16 months we believe we have created a new and fresh twist on the PvPvE genre.”

Working with Sumo Newcastle on the game is publishers Focus Home Interactive, whose COO, John Bert, said: “From the first moment, we’ve been thrilled by the unique dark universe created by Sumo. Hood’s lore, setting and gritty re-imagining of these legendary outlaws bring something truly unique to the multiplayer heist genre. We can’t wait to show more about the game in the coming months, and unveil all the exciting ingredients that make it a blast to play with your online gang.”

Hood: Outlaws & Legends will launch in 2021 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. More information can be found on the Focus Entertainment website.
