Hello Outlaws,
Hood goes LIVE today at 17:00 CEST!
Dive into 4v4 medieval heists against both the state and enemy outlaws in an attempt to get away alive with the gold. We'd now like to celebrate the official full launch of the game with our new Launch Trailer:

An amazing opening weekend!
It's been an exciting, crazy weekend watching everyone who pre-ordered the game jump into their first heists. Thank you all so much for your support, your amazing reactions, and a whole lot of stealing from the state.
Over the weekend, our eyes were glued to our screens so we could jump into action in case of any emergencies. We deployed a number of backend fixes, and the team continues to work hard on responding to feedback and bug reports.
Here are some words from Andrew Willans, Game Director on Hood:
Welcome Outlaws!
On behalf of the entire development team here at Sumo Newcastle I want to welcome you to Hood: Outlaws & Legends. Our launch this week represents the hard work and dedication of around 60 people working through some very strange times to bring you an experience we hope is every bit as engaging to play as it is innovative in its design. Throughout development we’ve embraced the emergent fun that comes from mixing stealth and action mechanics, shooting and melee combat, all in a world where players and AI interact with interesting and often thrilling consequences.
The development journey is far from over, and this launch represents the first step on a long road of exciting new game content. Content which you will play a part in with your feedback and your commitment to stealing from the State, and (maybe) giving to the people 😉 While PvPvE has been a design pillar since the concept phases, we are also planning to expand on our purely PvE focused games modes, and also providing more hardcore options and modes for those that thrive in the confict of PvP battles.
For now though, sharpen those arrows, ready those hammers, and get ready for a heist like no other.
See you in the shadows!
Andy
What's Next?
We've already started digesting all the feedback from this weekend, and will continue to look closely at everything you have to say. The feedback you give, and the data collected through our backend will inform our work going forward, and future patches. Our current priority is to work on feedback before rolling out new content.
Don't hesitate to leave your feedback here, and report any bugs you run into during your games. We're eager to listen and to help! Don't forget to check our known issues list before reporting an issue, however, since it may already be in the process of being fixed.
Make sure you join us on our official Discord as well, where you can chat with other Outlaws and hear the latest about what's happening and what's coming.
Once again, thank you all! We look forward to seeing you in the heist!
