New Robin Hood: Defender of the Crown art

Cinemaware has released new concept images from Robin Hood: Defender of the Crown, its upcoming remake of the classic Amiga game from 1986 that combined action, adventure, and strategy elements. The new game will use a proprietary 3D engine to let players assume the role of Robin Hood and follow a quest to save England from the tyranny of Prince John. Through the course of the game, players will engage in archery contests, jousting, sword fights, and siege warfare.
