Focus Home Interactive Is Now Focus Entertainment

Focus Entertainment

Focus Home Interactive, the publisher behind a ton of titles found on PlayStation consoles, has changed its name to Focus Entertainment. The studio announced earlier today that they have changed their name to better represent their activities.

The change was spurred on by their acquisition of The Surge developer, Deck13 Interactive, and Streets of Rage 4’s Dotemu. The latter of which also came with its publishing arm, The Arcade Crew.

Focus Entertainment seeks to cover all their activities and be representative of their desire to “diversify its games, products, services and revenue streams.” The studio has a lot of teeth in the game, having been established back in 1996 and working with some notable studios like Giants Software, which made the Farming Simulator lineup, and Sumo Digital.

Hood: Outlaws & Legends Grittily Reimagines Robin Hood

Hood: Outlaws & Legends

Among the several other reveals during the recent State of Play, developer, Sumo Newcastle, revealed what they’ve been working on – Hood: Outlaws & Legends. As the name implies, this game is a reimagining of the tale of Robin Hood, a man who would steal from the rich to give to the poor.

This reimagining, however, is quite a bit darker than what people are used to when hearing the tale. The game itself is a 4v4 gritty title where two teams must outwit the AI guards and nab the treasure to win for their team. Sumo Newcastle is making the game a tad bit more realistic with chests having to be carried, making teamwork a must to effectively escape with the treasure.

Of course, no good Robin Hood-themed game would be complete without stealth, but you can work with direct combat, but be careful since loud attacks can draw more guards – or worse – a rival player.

The game will take place in Sumo’s version of Dark Ages Britain. Hood: Outlaws & Legends is launching sometime in 2021.
