It finally clicked with me when I saw the sheriff in the new trailer for Hood: Outlaws and Legends - this is a Robin Hood game. I have no idea why I never made the association before. I probably shouldn't admit that it took me this long to figure it out. It's not like it was a big mystery, I'm pretty sure you are supposed to understand the Robin Hood connection. A bit shameful, really.
Anyhow, Focus Home Interactive today released another trailer for Hood: Outlaws and Legends, this time going into detail on the game's PvPvE heist system. Players will put together teams of four, then will race other teams to breach castles and steal treasure from the formidable sheriff and his gang of dudes. It looks pretty fun, if a little intimidating.
In between heists, you can decide whether to give money back to the people (because you are totally Robin Hood), or spend it all on yourself. Giving your riches away will unlock items in the game's store, so you might need to strike a balance there. The trailer also gives a quick look at Hood's many customization options, which look extensive and deep.
By pre-ordering today, you’ll get early access to Hood: Outlaws & Legends starting May 7, as well as the Forest Lords cosmetic pack for free. The Forest Lords pack includes a skin for each character and weapon in the game. The Year 1 Edition is also available for pre-order, giving access to Hood and three Battle Passes due to be released post-launch, after the initial free Season. Hood: Outlaws and Legends will release fully on May 10 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, all of the current Xboxes, and PC.
