I’ve always hated the idea of Quidditch. J.K. Rowling just wanted to involve brooms, and never managed to make an interesting sport around them. As the reveal trailer showed, there will be brooms, and you can be sure that there will be Quidditch. But the game shouldn’t limit you as the only playable character in the field; make it a team game like FIFA or NFL Madden. I’d also like to see a management layer where you can identify and nurture young talent in hopes of them breaking into the first team. Basically, I want Quidditch Manager 2022 way more than a half-baked Quidditch minigame that’s just there for the sake of

On a PlayStation blog post, following the announcement, Adrian Ropp, the head of story at Avalanche, laid out the time and place of the game's world. Players will explore Hogwarts and neighboring regions during the late 1800s, a period unexplored in the Potter universe. As Ropp wrote, "N early-Headless Nick would have been floating around, loyal and cheerful as eve r" while the goblins, who were also around, " certainty didn’t work at Gringotts ." That is to say, the game's world is both familiar and unknown. While all the world building is compelling, it does little to inform players about how Hogwarts Legacy will play or what kind of RPG it will be. Neither the trailer for Hogwarts Legacy , nor Ropp's post, gives any information regarding how players will engage with the world's characters. Its entirely possible that the game is an MMO, a single-player adventure, or something in-between. While nothing can be definitively said, a look at past leaks and Avalanche Software's own history provides some insi

I’m not the biggest Harry Potter Fan, but I do love a good RPG. I can’t deny that there's tons of source material from the books that could be transmogged into RPG mechanics. I just hope that the developers see that,

Hitman 3 is on its way and console players will have a leg up over the PC players. If you own Hitman 2, then you can play through its levels in Hitman 3, but only on consoles. Hitman 3 is an Epic Games Store exclusive on PC until 2022. This means that you have to buy Hitman 2 on EGS to use its stages in Hitman 3 , even if you already own the game on Steam. Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has said that he's looking into the issue, so it's possible that a deal can be worked out before the game launc

It’s about time somebody made a proper game based on the Harry Potter universe. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t really care about the franchise anymore, but I know a lot of people who still do. So, when Warner Bros. announced that it was making a game based on J.K. Rowling’s work, the only reaction I could conjure up was, "M

Harry was deemed a pariah for most of his second year at Hogwarts for being a parseltongue, but what kid doesn’t want to speak to animals? A trait commonly associated with dark wizards—and actually a trait that was passed down by Voldemort himself—it’s one of the traits that’s only whispered about in polite wizard society. Even though it’s not exactly learnable in the Harry Potter universe, being able to unlock it as a skill would open up some cool interacti

The Sony PlayStation 5 conference came with many surprises, but one of the biggest was the unveiling of **Hogwarts Legacy money guide|https://hogwartslegacyfans.com/ Legacy ** : an open-world RPG set within the Harry Potter universe. Developed by Avalanche Software under the Portkey Games label, Hogwarts Legacy carries immense authenticity and offers fans a chance at experiencing the beloved universe in a completely new way. Strangely, very little was said about Hogwarts Legacy' s genre, other than it being an

When author J.K. Rowling first tried publishing Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone , she was rejected multiple times by editors who thought her book was too long or too offbeat for young readers to enjoy; the eventual runaway success of the Harry Potter series proved that Rowling was, in fact, onto something. Her combination of magical fantasy with the archaic boarding-school genre of literature spoke to school-going children of different ages and nationalities, who saw themselves in the shoes of the brave Harry Potter, the bookish Hermione, or the earnest Ron Weasley. To this day, Harry Potter fans still try to sort themselves (and characters from popular media) into the four houses of Hogwarts or argue over whether they'd personally get better grades in Potions or Defense Against The Dark A

It’s an age-old choice: dark side or light side. Will you choose the side of control, rules, and order, or will you let your imagination and emotion run away with you? It’s hard to argue that dark magic isn’t the more liberated of the two paths—it radiates chaos ene

There is no direct substitute for the upcoming title. No Harry Potter video game thus far has come close to encapsulating the wonder that is Hogwarts. However, for players looking to distract themselves until Hogwarts Legacy launches, there are games available now thatoffer a similar magical v
