Ahead of its release next month, Sumo Digital and Focus Home Interactive have released an overview trailer for Hood: Outlaws & Legends. The video serves as a deep dive into the gameplay of the multiplayer PvPvE heist game.
In Hood: Outlaws & Legends, your goal is to assemble a team of outlaws capable of infiltrating castles and strongholds to steal the guarded riches within. The catch with this game is that it's not just your team vying for the riches. You'll be competing against an opposing team of four who are also hoping to steal the treasure.
There are multiple character classes to choose from, each catering to a specific playstyle. The Ranger is a sniper equipped with a longbow that can eliminate targets from nearly any range. The Hunter is an assassin and master of close-range stealth attacks. The Brawler is a brutal warrior who excels in close-range combat. The Mystic is more of a supporting character with a focus on crowd control. He can detect nearby enemies and heal allies as well.
To successfully pull off a heist, you'll need a sound strategy. Cooperation and team composition are key in this game.
Both teams of outlaws will be competing to be the first to steal the treasure and there will be moments in a match where you actually engage in PvP. Check out the trailer for Hood: Outlaws & Legends below to learn more about this very intriguing medieval heist game.
Every game of Hood: Outlaws & Legends pits you and your friends against a rival group of four other players who are also aiming to steal the treasure. You and your team must work together to select your band of complementary outlaws, each with unique abilities to offer, before infiltrating vast, medieval strongholds. Outsmart the opposing team and villainous State to find, steal, and return the riches unfairly taken from the people.
In between the action of heists, you'll find yourself at the hideout. This is a place to spend your stolen fortune. You can choose to give the money back to the people, which will increase the range of items available to you in shops, or keep it for yourself and directly purchase the items. You're also able to improve your characters skills with perks or customize them with new weapons and costumes.
Hood: Outlaws & Legends is set to release on May 10. Preordering gets you early access starting on May 7. The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
