With the co-op action-adventure game Gangs of Sherwood about to launch this Thursday, 30 November, we’re delighted to unveil the game’s brand-new trailer, which is the pride of our teams!
Andrea Di Stefano, Game Director at Appeal Studios and Maxime Prevosteau, Product Manager at NACON had this to say about Alan-A-Dale and the latest Gangs of Sherwood trailer.
Who is Alan-A-Dale and how does he fit into the legend?
Andrea Di Stefano: “Although he’s not as well-known as other heroes from the legend such as Friar Tuck or Little John, this character is an important member of Robin Hood’s Merry Men. He plays a crucial role in the game as a narrator introducing every new adventure through a humorous puppet show, also used to speak out against Sheriff Nottingham’s tyranny.”
What inspired you for this trailer?
Maxime Prevosteau: “We wanted to pay tribute to this atypical, charismatic character by creating an epic song with a medieval tone that gets stuck in your head! We were inspired by many things, including Disney’s iconic Robin Hood and Aladdin cartoons and even The Witcher.”
Andrea Di Stefano: “It also made perfect sense to cast the talented artist Lenny Mark Irons as Alan-A-Dale in the trailer, since he also lent his voice to the character in the game.”
