Try out the demo from 5 October on Steam, and the full game from 2 November

“Hear me, brave folk of Locksley! I, Alan-A-Dale, official minstrel of the band of outlaws led by Robin Hood, have much to tell you. First, take note that the Gangs of Sherwood adventure shall start not on 19 October, but on 2 November of the Year of our Lord 2023. Our heroes shall put these few additional weeks to good use, to better prepare their offensive against the armies of the vile Sheriff of Nottingham. Yet fear not! The most eager among you may take part in a special training session, dubbed a “Steam demo”, from 5 to 16 October.

However, before then, it is important that you understand the full story of the rebellion by Robin Hood and his Merry Men against the Sheriff’s oppressive yoke. Allow me to share with you the tale of Gangs of Sherwood … through a puppet show”

Gangs of Sherwood | Story Trailer: PEGI UK | ESRB

’Tis in the far-off Crusades where our tale began,
Where King Richard of England – a splendid man,
Came across the Lionheart, a wondrous jewel,
Holding fabled secrets, and prodigious virtues too.
It drove science to race ahead of the age,
Surpassing the dreams of the most ambitious sage!

Alas, this treasure set the greed of the basest men running,
And the Sheriff of Nottingham seized it through force and cunning.
He harnessed the jewel’s power to oppress the nation,
With neither rights nor peace, robbed and tortured without cessation.
Yet lose not hope, for a rebel band
Prizing honour and justice, is here at hand.
Among them famed archer Robin of Locksley, Maid Marian the beauty,
Stout Friar Tuck, and fearsome Little John ready for duty.

In Sherwood Forest they dwell, defying tyranny,
Taking from the rich to give to the poor, is their philosophy.
War is declared! Answer their call,
Join their ranks, be part of the legend known to all!
