Golly, what a day…

As a part of this morning’s Nacon Join reside stream, the writer provided up our first take a look at the gameplay of co-op motion journey Gangs of Sherwood, which is presently in growth at Attraction Studios for PC and Gen 9 platforms. It’s presently anticipated to launch within the fall of this 12 months.

Because the title suggests, Gangs of Sherwood is a multiplayer journey set inside an alternate, steampunk-style tackle the Robin Hood legend. As much as 4 gamers will step into the roles of warriors Little John, Friar Tuck, Maid Marian, and, after all, Robin of Loxley himself. The very early gameplay footage sees our band of outlaws battling their means by way of a citadel, with every member of the occasion bringing bespoke weaponry and preventing expertise as they sally forth previous a squadron of guards.

The trailer ends with Sherwood Forest’s best going through off in opposition to a monstrous contraption of flesh and metal, referred to as “Crimson Roger of Nottingham”. What is it with Nacon and rusty, aristocratic robots?

Whereas this alpha footage is a tad tough across the edges, I really actually dig the thought of a multiplayer hack ‘n’ slash title, and the novel twist on the tales of Robin Hood is a reasonably daring idea. I don’t see any horny foxes, nor can I hear Brian Adams, so I’m assuming that this will likely be a very distinctive adaptation of the Completely Actual and Undoubtedly Existed hero. I’m particularly desperate to see what kind Robin’s nemesis, The Sheriff of Nottingham, will soak up Gangs of Sherwood.

He’s going to be an enormous fucking robotic spider, isn’t he?

Gangs of Sherwood is scheduled to launch this fall on PS5, PC, and Xbox Collection X. You’ll be able to take a look at an prolonged gameplay preview over on the official Steam retailer web page.
