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
It’s unclear if this was a PR effort to try and get in the good graces of fans or if this has always been something planned for a while. Hogwarts Legacy was recently delayed from 2021 to 2022 , giving the team more time to work on the game and ensure it lives up to the hype. There’s no concrete release date at the moment, but it’s likely we’ll find out more later this y
Editor’s Note: Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling has been accused of transphobia by those in the LGBTQ+ community. Although not directly involved in the development of Hogwarts Legacy, Rowling does stand to earn royalties from the game. We would like to reiterate our support for trans rights and that trans identities are valid. Support services are listed below for trans people impacted by discussions of transpho
Harry Potter fans have been begging for an Auror game ever since Hogwarts Legacy was released, and it isn’t a huge mystery why we likely don’t have one already. The primary issue is that an Auror game would require a more adult bent, and despite having many adult themes, the Harry Potter IP is still largely meant for younger audien
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
During Sony’s PS5 showcase that took place earlier this month, Hogwarts Legacy was revealed after being previously leaked in the past , and at one point even rumored to be developed by Rocksteady until that was debunked . The reveal of Hogwarts Legacy however was not entirely welcomed due to the recent controversy surrounding the creator of the fictional universe the game is set within. A FAQ has detailed exactly how much involvement J.K. Rowling has in the upcoming magical RPG, and it seems to be purposefully added in light of the situation onl
Hexes, jinxes, curses, are all technically dark magic but you can learn a good chunk of them in a charms class. Stacking a skill tree with stinging jinxes and fiendfyre—a very big target seeking flame—would make for some interesting du
Of course, inclusivity is important, but this doesn’t fix the issue – if anything it may make it more concerning. If there are people working on trying to include trans characters but don’t even support them personally, it could impact their portrayal. It may be done incorrectly, distastefully, or just not with the level of care it deserves, only being used as a marketing tactic for Hogwarts Legacy rather than a progressive attempt at inclusiv
If memory serves, the only characters in the movies with tattoos, other than the fully indoctrinated Death Eaters, did some time in Azkaban. Witches and Wizards don’t just click the next webpage get thrown into Azkaban over small offenses either. Being able to customize a character in a Harry Potter game that’s dressed head to toe in black and oozing that bad boy/girl vibe will call to people in a way that mom jeans and converse just don
Warner Bros. hasn’t addressed the issue directly, but it has tried to rectify it in a different way. Bloomberg is reporting that developer Avalanche is making an effort to include trans characters in Hogwarts Legacy by giving freedom in character creation. Players can reportedly choose a male or female voice, regardless of body type, and also choose if they’re addressed as a witch or wizard which also determines their dorm. This hasn’t been “officially” confirmed by Warner Bros. or Avalanche, as it was reported using anonymous sour
Hogwarts Legacy was announced last summer as an original RPG in the Harry Potter universe. Players will take control of a student at the magical school of Hogwarts decades prior to the arrival of “the boy who lived”. The game will open up a lot of unseen angles to this universe, such as expanding on its history while also showcasing iconic locations. The game looks very promising, but more recent developments have caused some concern. The game’s lead designer, Troy Leavitt, has been under fire after journalist Liam Robertson discovered that he has a history of spreading controversial Gamergate rhetoric on a personal YouTube chan
**Hogwarts Legacy ** has had no shortage of controversies, particularly regarding its creators, but the team is making efforts to prove it won’t define the new game. Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling has gained a lot of attention online in recent years following her dismissive comments towards transgender people as well as retroactively making key characters gay to seem diverse. This caused some discomfort with the team working on Hogwarts Legacy , with many trying to distance themselves as much as they could for a game that benefits Rowl
