– The final curtain call: Hood: Outlaws & Legends will bid adieu and vanish from our screens forever
The team expressed their heartfelt sentiments:
“We regret to inform you that our game, Hood: Outlaws & Legends, will cease its service on February 18. After this date, the game, along with any Editions, DLCs, and Battle Pass items, will fade into oblivion.
This decision was tough but necessary, and we understand the disappointment it may bring. The Hood teams extend their sincerest thanks for your unwavering support and dedication throughout this epic journey. We treasure every moment and hope your memories of Hood: Outlaws & Legends will be as cherished as ours.”
The Rise and Fall of Hood: Outlaws & Legends
Hood: Outlaws & Legends made its grand entrance in mid-2021 and captivated players with three seasons of content in its inaugural year. The addition of a pure co-op mode alongside the main PvPvE gameplay was a game-changer. However, like many live games, the failure to amass a sizable audience resulted in Sumo and Focus halting content production after the first year. Although the game’s servers have been running in the background, they’re finally pulling the plug after nearly four years.
The game ingeniously reimagined the legendary tale of Robin Hood and his Merry Men in an online multiplayer setting. Picture this: two teams of four battling each other and formidable guards to infiltrate a heavily guarded stronghold and snatch a hefty stash of loot.
While Hood: Outlaws & Legends offered moments of excitement and thrill, it fell short of achieving greatness. In our Hood: Outlaws & Legends review, Gamoc remarked, “Hood: Outlaws and Legends boasts innovative concepts, but its execution leaves much to be desired. […] With more diversity, whether through additional modes or unique objectives for each map, this game could have been a smash hit. However, as it stands, it squanders a wealth of potential.”
