Hood: Outlaws & Legends, the co-op PvPvE heist game from Sumo Digital and Focus Home Interactive, has announced that Season 1: Samhain is now available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC. This new season of content comes complete with exciting new surprises, upgrades, bug fixes, and the newest sword-swinging outlaw: Eidaa.
You can try out Hood: Outlaws & Legends for free now on Steam until September 5! The game is also on sale for 40% off on Steam for a limited time.
Hood’s newest outlaw, Eidaa, is a talented skirmisher who brings both sword and sorcery to the field. As a hybrid character, Eidaa is capable of both dodging and parrying, but she has lower health than the other melee characters, so careful stamina management is key. Eidaa can replenish gearboxes to keep her team up, as well as set tar bombs to slow and damage enemies. Her ultimate is a magic shield that blocks enemy projectiles, perfect for locking down key sightlines and protecting objectives. Like the other outlaws, she comes with several cosmetics and perks to customize her look and feel in game!
Season 1: Samhain also introduces a new rework for the Winch System. The final fight to the finish will now be score-based, with a certain number of completed Notches required to win. But completing early-game objectives, like pickpocketing the Sheriff, opening the vault, and placing the chest, will grant you a significant head start, rewarding teams that work quickly and quietly throughout the heist.
Finally, Season 1 adds three maps for State Heist, Hood’s new PvE co-op mode. You can attack a fortified, snow-tipped keep in Mountain, battle across the cliffy shores of Coastal, and assault the swampy wetlands of Marshland. Hood’s first Battle Pass is also now live, and players can unlock a wide variety of new outlaw appearances, weapons, and banners.
And the Hood journey is just getting started! Since release, Focus and Sumo have been actively working on improving the game by listening carefully to community feedback to offer the best heist experience possible. The game has already received several gameplay updates and tweaks, and players can look forward to even more free content over this year.
Hood: Outlaws & Legends is out now on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC. You can also buy the game’s Year 1 Edition, which includes three post-launch Battle Passes. For more on Hood, visit www.focus-home.com/en-us/games/hood-outlaws-legends.
