Remember when Harry and Malfoy dueled in the great hall? Players who can’t wait to get in on that kind of serious wand-dueling action should check out Wands VR . An immersive VR game, Wands VR lets players participate in magic duels via PvP. Unlike **Hogwarts Legacy guide|https://hogwartslegacyfans.com/ Legacy ** , players won't be learning to cast Wingardium Leviosa or the infamous bat bogey hex. Instead, Wands VR allows players to fully customize their spell loadout, with over 25 spells for witches and wizards to mas

The publisher also clarifies that "This is not a new story from J.K. Rowling." and also states that "While remaining true to J.K. Rowling’s original work, Portkey game developers chart new territory by creating fresh ways for fans to immerse themselves in the wizarding wor

It happens all the time. Someone says something awful and gets held accountable for it. People defend the person who says the bad thing, and start attacking other people who are criticising the person who said the bad thing. "It’s free speech," they say, while also telling people they should shut up. You see, their free speech is sacred, but you’re just participating in cancel culture by opposing it. This, my friends, is the art of the gr

Since then, it’s come to light that the game’s lead designer, Troy Leavitt, also runs a GamerGate-adjacent YouTube channel. It’s the kind of thing you see from the usual suspects. Among the videos are things like, "In Defense of John Lasseter", "12 script changes to save The Last Jedi", "The myth of the male gaze in video games", "It’s OK to be a gamer", "The injustice of social justice", "A game developer’s open letter to Anita Sarkeesian", and other assorted dog tu

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.

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

Since the developers have already made it clear that a lot of the game will take place both in and outside of Hogwarts, it's hard to imagine the player's adventures away from school being devoid of magical use. The trailer portrays a student fighting off a masked villain in a dark woods — likely the Forbidden Forest — along with encountering trolls and dragons in unidentifiable settings. One shot shows a student attacking a charging Graphorn with his wand, before dodging out of harm's way. Whether or not this takes place on school grounds is uncertain. Still, using magic outside of school seems like a must in this game, considering a good chunk of time is spent away from Hogwa

To try claw back some good press, developers at Avalanche leaked internal plans to allow players to play as a transgender character . Clearly, the developers inside Avalanche were embarrassed and upset that the actions of Leavitt and Rowling were jeopardising the game they’re creating. It’s hard not to feel bad for t

That second point is where everyone should start stroking their chins. It’s classic grifter tactics. Leavitt will release a video claiming he’s left to save the project - a selfless act to defend the developers there. You see, he aims to become a martyr in the eyes of his supporters. The video will likely demonise games journalists as the root cause of his problems, rather than being used for introspection or to admit that his actions had consequen

Once he does this, the views on his channel will skyrocket, thanks to both his supporters and people who are morbidly curious. The algorithm will reward him for it and he’ll get back to putting out videos about why he hates Brie Larson or some other asinine shit. Along with people like Shapiro, he will become another cog in the hate machine on YouTube, his videos revolving around the algorithm and reinforcing the beliefs of people who already watch similar tosh. Either that or he’ll go the crowdfunding route and promise to lead development on a game "free of politics", and the suckers will eat it up. If he was being assigned to a Hogwarts house, it would be Griftin
