Following a paranormal disaster plunging Tokyo into a world of real-life urban legends and conspiracies, players take up arms to battle otherworldly Visitors that have taken over the city…literally! In Ghostwire: Tokyo, players combine conventional gear with a special technique called Ethereal Weaving – fusing spiritual energy with the elements of wind, water and fire – to fend off foes and save the city.

Hands-on

Rather than a special weapon or conduit, Ethereal Weaving utilizes just two hands, weaving motions together hypnotically in-game to unleash your power upon Tokyo’s hostile apparitions. 

“The evil spirits that appear in Tokyo are supernatural, non-physical beings, so we tried to think of what the most intuitive way would be to combat them,” explains Kenji Kimura, Game Director for Ghostwire: Tokyo at Tango Gameworks.

“Japan has a long history of warding off bad events such as natural disasters or disease through prayer at shrines and temples. If a child got injured in the neighborhood, their parents would wave their hands over the wound while saying incantation-like words, as if to magically alleviate the pain. It’s this historical reliance on nature and other unseen forces controlled by hand movements that inspired their use in the game.”

Hood: Outlaws & Legends is available starting today as part of April’s PlayStation Plus lineup. After today’s free update, no Outlaw will be left behind, with full cross-platform invites allowing players to group up before heists across platforms. In addition, the Season 3: Ostara Battle Pass brings over a hundred epic new cosmetics to bolster the already extensive collection of outfits, weapon skins, and banners, giving each player the power to decide the look of their legend.

It’s the perfect opportunity to band together with your squad of outlaws and try your hand at Hood’s nerve-racking multiplayer action. If you’re new to the game, here’s everything you need to know. 

Hood: Outlaws & Legends is a medieval multiplayer heist game released in 2021. Faced with a merciless, unchecked state, rival gangs compete in daring heists to hit the wealthy where it hurts and win influence with an oppressed people.

Assemble your team of four players, execute nail-biting heists in different PvP, PvE and hybrid modes, infiltrating large medieval environments to find treasure and extract it.

Choose your character from five unique classes based on your preferred playstyle, or what best fits your team strategy. In this game where cooperation is key, your team’s composition can suit a stealthy long-range approach, brutal close combat or a more balanced, cookie cutter approach. Form your team and jump into one of the modes available ranging from the coop PvE State Heist where you’re pitted against alert and dangerous AI guards, to the PvPvE Heist or Gold Rush modes.

In Heist, Hood’s standard PvPvE mode, outsmart or overpower an opposing team of 4 outlaws in finding, stealing and extracting heavily guarded riches. Stealth will be your biggest friend as you locate the fearsome State Sheriff who holds the key to the vault, and steal it from him. Then, prepare to be hunted by the guards and the enemy team as you do your best to extract the spoils by using one of the winches on the many extraction points on the map.

In Gold Rush, your team must bring a certain amount of gold to one of its controlled spawn points before your opponents. But be careful, carrying too much go

What follows is a silly, sprawling action-RPG full of weird characters, bizarre dungeons, and wild quests. With the power of the wand, you’ll unlock and swap between over 15 forms — everything from a Guard or Ranger, to a Horse, Bodybuilder or Dragon. You’ll journey through a crashed UFO one moment, and an overgrown rotten pumpkin the next. There’s always a new form, quest, or dungeon to discover right around the corner.
