As a dark wizard what would be cooler than riding on the back of a manticore, or its closely related blast-ended skrewt—which is basically a scorpion with two butts that toots explosions. Get whatever you want with a team of giant acromantula that will literally eat people at your discretion if you’re a friend to the spiders. Remember those Inferi we talked about before? Think of a better security system, I dare

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.

In basically all other Harry Potter games so far, the closest you could get to going dark was being sorted into Slytherin . But now, even the sweet Hufflepuff house could have the chance to go rogue and fill out their hex branch before anything else. The fact is that some people just side more with the dark.
