Warner Brothers likely doesn’t want to develop a mature Harry Potter game as it would automatically alienate a large portion of the Wizarding World’s key demographic. I’d guess this is the largest barrier, but probably not the only one, which is why an Auror game isn’t on the table at the mom
Back in 2018, footage surfaced of what appeared to be a large-scale Harry Potter RPG, but Warner Brothers provided no comment on the leak, and all excitement for the game quietly faded from the public eye . Nevertheless, video game enthusiasts and Harry Potter fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of any new information about the bewitchingly mysterious proj
Hogwarts Legacy is set to release sometime in 2021 and is being developed by Avalanche Software. Hogwarts Legacy is published by Portkey Games, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Interactive that focuses on creating video games set in the Wizarding World. Not a whole lot is known about the gameplay or story of Hogwarts Legacy right now, but the next-gen title looks like it should please most Harry Potter f
For now, it’s completely unknown if Albus Dumbledore will actually appear in **Hogwarts Legacy ** . However, depending on the exact decade in which the game takes place, he could realistically show up at Hogwarts as a student. It seems highly plausible, although Harry Potter fans may have to wait a while for any official confirmat
Unlike the other games in this article, Arcana Academy is a tabletop game rather than a video game, a pen-and-paper RPG loosely styled after Powered By The Apocalypse -style productions . The developers of Arcana Academy explicitly built their games to recreate the magical academy shenanigans seen in books like **Harry Potter ** , The Magicians , and Akata Witch , letting players design their own (initially flawed) spells and centering each game’s plot around a central mystery the magic student PCs need to unravel. The character creation process for the wizards and witches of Arcana Academy is similarly freeform, asking players to assign their PCs a list of personality traits, beliefs, talents, and resources they can call upon to augment their dice rolls and guide their roleplaying effo
Although Dumbledore may merely appear as a cameo character, he could figure heavily into the plot. He could be close friends to the player’s character, or even serve as a mentor or mentee, depending on his age at the time of Hogwarts Legacy . Players may even end up exploring Hogwarts Legacy ‘s world with Dumbledore by their side. Since Dumbledore is such an iconic figure in the Wizarding World, it seems odd to place a game in the 1800s and leave him out completely, and it could explain the “Legacy” part of the game’s ti
This is all under the assumption that the game __ will stay true to the established lore of the wizarding world. Another thing worth noting is in 1875, the Ministry of Magic passes the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery, in which young magic users are forbidden from using magic outside of Hogwarts. It’s hard to say for certain, but the trailer seems to portray students using magic outside of the school grounds. How interesting it would be if the player’s actions in the game bring about this law. While nothing has been confirmed, it seems highly probable that **Hogwarts Legacy ** will take place in the 1870s, but there is still much room for speculat
Now that **Hogwarts Legacy ** has been revealed during Sony’s PS5 Showcase, Harry Potter fans have their first glimpse at the upcoming Wizarding World video game. A lot of details aren’t known at this time; however, the game is set during the 1800s, putting it as one of the earliest settings fans have seen in author J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World. Because of the time period, most Harry Potter characters won’t be at Hogwarts (or even born yet). However, one popular character could be: Albus Dumbled
Reddit user notexpectedbut claiming to be an employee of WB Marketing has released information online about the Harry Potter game, which they claim will be called Hogwarts: A Dark Legacy . In a large post, the Redditor revealed a slew of potential information about the game, though it’s impossible to verify if this leak is legitimate or
There is a massive opportunity to create an RPG that explores both the process of becoming an Auror and the job itself, sending players on detective-type missions and tracking down wizards dabbling in the Dark Arts. There are various entry points in the Wizarding World timeline where Aurors are relevant web site, with Harry Potter himself even becoming an Auror eventua
Like with all rumors, there is zero evidence any of this is true. The post is riddled with grammatical errors and the “notexpectedbut” Reddit account was created just to post this rumor. Furthermore, Hogwarts: A Dark Legacy is a pretty generic title. Regardless, the post ends with the promise that WB is gearing up to formally unveil the game before August. With that in mind, **Harry Potter ** fanatics eagerly awaiting news of the highly-anticipated unannounced RPG won’t have to wait long to discover if any of this is t
