On the PlayStation Blog, Game Director Andrew Willians composes that the game is a “dark and gritty reimagining of the Robin Hood legend,” where 2 teams are completing against each other to take treasures from an overbearing British government, called The State, in a dark age setting. What separates this game from others, however, is that The State will have enemy AI targeting bothteams Hence, users will need to beware of both the AI and enemy players.

In terms of gameplay, players will be managing differing operators, some from real folklore (like Robin Hood, himself), where each has their own abilities and weapons. Reminiscent of something like assassin’s Creed, players will be wielding their bows, swords, and wrist blades, while scaling and surveying high castles, all in 3rd individual.

The game’s twist originates from its components of “grounded fantasy,” as some of these characters will have the ability to use magic as a method of attack, in addition to to getting away and getting with the valuable treasure. we can think of that the title with will be extremely tactical, where colleagues interact and use their person abilities to complete the goal.

Willian also mentions that the title will be making “full use” of the DualSense’s haptic feedback offering more “empowering sensations between the player and their virtual bow.” There is no official release date yet, however Hood: Outlaws & & Legends is slated for the PS5 and PS4 in 2021.
