The dystopian Robin Hood adventure Gangs of Sherwood has finally received a concrete release date from NACON and the developers. We’ll tell you here when you can throw yourself into Sherwood Forest.
NACON and developer Appeal Studios have nailed it when it comes to Gangs of Sherwood’s release date. So it starts this fall, namely on October 19, 2023.
To coincide with the announcement of the date, a gameplay video lasting several minutes was recently released, showing the intensity of the battles. These can be experienced alone or in co-op mode.
There are two playable characters in the video: Robin Hood and Friar Tuck. Legendary archer Robin Hood is an excellent ranged fighter, quickly firing volleys of arrows that can float in the air before hitting the enemy. Friar Tuck has a strong and stocky build, allowing him to wield a heavy mace that deals significant damage to enemies in close combat while protecting himself with his energy shield. The two are seen in action in the first levels of the game, where the characters are being hunted down the streets of Locksley by the Nottingham Sheriff’s Army and face their first powerful boss.
The cooperative action-adventure Gangs of Sherwood can be played by one to four players and is characterized by a high replay value. The release is planned for the mentioned date for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store).
