Hood: Outlaws & Legends End of Service Announced for Feb. 18, 2025 and Will No Longer Be Playable Three Years After Launch

While more and more studios relying on online multiplayer as the crux of their game, there is always the possibility of the game being unplayable be it for lack of players, or the servers stop working. It seems that in the case of Sumo Digital’s Hood: Outlaws & Legends, it’s a mix of both.

The studio has announced that in Feb. 18, 2025 — just three years after it launched — the game will end its run. The Hood: Outlaws & Legends end of service means the game will completely be unplayable given the game is centered on online multiplayer.

Here’s the announcement from the studio:

We regret to inform you that our game, Hood: Outlaws & Legends, will be ending service on February 18. After this date, the game, along with any Editions, DLCs, and Battle Pass items, will no longer be accessible.

This has been a difficult but necessary decision, and we understand it may be disappointing. The Hood teams deeply thank you for your support and dedication throughout this incredible adventure. We cherished every part of it and we hope your memories of Hood: Outlaws & Legends will be as treasured as ours.

Starting October 16, 2024, the game will not be sold either via physical or digital, and refunds will be offered to players who purchased the game 14 days prior to this announcement until the termination of sales.

In our review of the game, we noticed a bunch of stuff the studio did right, but also a lot of things that went wrong citing, “Hood: Outlaws and Legends is a great idea on paper, but not one so well executed.”

At the very least, the game did last three years, and is nowhere near as fast as Concord’s which got its rug pulled in less than a month.
