Close to the release of their co-op action-adventure game, Gangs of Sherwood, NACON, and Appeal Studios - developers of the upcoming Outcast 2 - A New Beginning - are delighted to share a new video showcasing the game's original soundtrack. The game will be released on 30 November on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

In this behind-the-scenes preview, Markus Zierhofer, the Gangs of Sherwood composer, reveals the inspirations behind the new release's original soundtrack. The game's music offers a science-fantasy atmosphere, combining medieval and modern aspects, which is on par with In line with the Gangs of Sherwood world.

Markus calls the music "a wild ride in a distorted medieval setting."

"This is achieved by using old instruments, such as the Stroh violin or hurdy-gurdy, whose tones are distorted to obtain music halfway between the Middle Ages and a more modern era," explains Markus Zierhofer. "We also made sure that the original soundtrack adapts to the action in the game. For example, the music can be intensified by layering when you face a host of enemies at the same time, or when your combo gauge goes up."

Gangs of Sherwood is a story-driven cooperative action-adventure game for 1 to 4 players with fast-paced gameplay and high replay value in a reimagined world based on the legend of Robin Hood.
