The story of Gangs of Sherwood, as narrated below, unfolds in the backdrop of the Crusades and the gripping tale of King Richard of England encountering the revered Lionheart jewel. However, this artifact becomes a source of contention, leading the Sheriff of Nottingham to seize it through deceit and force. With the jewel’s power, the Sheriff oppresses the nation, leaving its people devoid of rights and peace, subjected to relentless robbery and torture.
Amidst this turmoil, a band of rebels, upholding honor and justice, emerges, led by the famed archer Robin of Locksley, the enchanting Maid Marian, the stalwart Friar Tuck, and the formidable Little John. Taking refuge in Sherwood Forest, they defy tyranny, embodying their philosophy of taking from the affluent to provide for the impoverished.
Join the ranks of the Merry Men, participate in their legendary battles, and contribute to their mission of resistance against the oppressive Sheriff of Nottingham.
Gangs of Sherwood, developed by Appeal Studios and Nacon, presents players with the task of combatting the Sheriff’s armies empowered by the Philosopher’s Stones. These stones enable the creation of an army of enhanced soldiers, formidable war machines, and daunting bosses, posing a significant challenge to the band of rebels.
As players assume the roles of Robin, Marian, Friar Tuck, or Little John, they will engage in cooperative action, unleashing skillful combos in a dynamic gameplay experience that supports up to four players.
The game is set to release on November 2 for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, promising an immersive journey into the world of the legendary Robin Hood.
