And maybe that's because they're nearer Sherwood Forest than we are. Were you watching Kevin Costner and Alan Rickman? Who wakes up and goes, 'Got it: Robin Hood.'?Īndrew Willans: Bizarrely this started as a concept in Sumo Sheffield that had been hanging around for ages, and they basically wanted to do a dark version of Robin Hood. To begin, let's rewind back a bit and talk about where the idea comes from. But it sounds exciting to hear game director Andrew Willans talk about it - he who designed Grow Home and Eve Valkyrie, and helped make Watch_Dogs, The Crew, The Division and Driver: San Francisco. Or, to use the team's own inspirational touchstone, 'What would it look like if Game of Thrones did Payday in a Robin Hood universe?' Hence the grittiness, hence the violence, hence the dour look. It's a PvPvE game which, in this case, means two teams of legendary outlaws try to break into a castle guarded by computer-controlled guards - and a monstrous-sounding Sheriff of Nottingham - and liberate the big chest of gold there. Hood: Outlaws & Legends is bang on trend as far as games like Hunt: Showdown are concerned. Release date: 10th May on PC, PS5, Xbox Series S/X, PS4, Xbox One.And now, Robin Hood is the inspiration for Sumo Digital's new game. This is a legend we've seen reinterpreted time and time again for the small and big screens. "I'm gonna cut your heart out with a spoon!" Ahh, Robin Hood, ahh, Alan Rickman.
