After nearly four years, Sumo Digital is putting Hood: Outlaws and Legends behind bars and shutting it down on February 18, 2025.
The PvEvP game based on Robin Hood released in May 2021 for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Series X|S. After the February end date, the studio said the game (and its various editions and add-ons) will “no longer be accessible.”
“This has been a difficult but necessary decision, and we understand it may be disappointing,” wrote Sumo. “The Hood teams deeply thank you for your support and dedication throughout this incredible adventure.”
Digital and physical sales of Hood will cease on October 16. Players who bought it two weeks prior to that date will be offered full refunds.
“We cherished every part of [making the game],” concluded Sumo, “and we hope your memories of Hood: Outlaws and Legends will be as treasured as ours.”
Sumo’s recent live-service history
Publisher Focus Entertainment cited weak sales of Hood as one reason for its revenue struggles in the first half of the 2021-2022 fiscal year. The company said both it and Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground had performed “below expectations.”
According to the game’s Steam page, Sumo stopped developing additional content after Season 3 launched in April 2022.
Sumo bid farewell to another multiplayer game in February after handing development of Texas Chain Saw Massacre over to Black Tower Studios.
