10 RPGs You Didn’t Know Were Coming In 2021

There's simply not enough diversity when it comes to character creation in open-world platforms. From ethnicity to sexuality and gender, Hogwarts Legacy beginner guide Legacy has an opportunity to offer genuine freedom for players to explore and create their own authentic charact


JK Rowling is not just a transphobic person, she’s the transphobic person. She is the most well known and most respected openly transphobic person in pop culture, and her views get shared far and wide as a result of this. And while she’s a huge success, Hogwarts Legacy also feels like it might be her last roll of the dice for elite cultural relevance. Harry Potter book sales are declining, Fantastic Beasts has performed nowhere near as well as the Daniel Radcliffe-led original movie series, and while her recent adult novels have been bestsellers, they’ve had minimal staying power and have slid down the charts quickly. If this tanks, it’s a serious b


However, it's worth noting that Hogwarts Legacy will extend far beyond the limits of the school grounds, and as such players could see other characters appear like the Minister of Magic. According to Harry Potter lore, there were three different Ministers in the early 1800s. The first one was Grogan Stump, who held office from 1811 to 1819, and a big part of his legacy was the creation of the Being, Beast, and Spirit divisions within the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. If this character is included in the story, players could expect some side missions related to taming or battling magical creatures, as this is one of the main features that was unveiled in the Hogwarts Legacy trail


Other Ministers for Magic that could appear include Josephina Flint, famous for an anti-Muggle bias in the office, and Ottaline Gambol, famous for proposing the train as transportation to and from Hogwarts, which inevitably led to the building of the Hogwarts Express. The latter would be the most likely to appear in Hogwarts Legacy since the inauguration of the Hogwarts Express would make for a great Wizarding World gameplay ev

While owls, toads, cats, and rats seem like normal options for the start of the game, as the narrative develops, audiences should be able to have the option to bring in more exotic pets to their world. Basilisks might be a bit too violent, but Bowtruckles and Pygmy Puffs would fit in w


The characters players will encounter at Hogwarts won't be limited to other students, however. The school headmaster and different teachers will likely have important roles, and one of the characters that is likely to appear is Phineas Nigellus Black. In the Harry Potter series, the portrait of Phineas Black actually plays an important role, so it would be nice to see that referenced in some way in Hogwarts Legacy. Phineas could be included in the game as both a teacher or in his later role as Headmaster of Hogwarts, both positions which he loathed. Later in the series, fans see another portrait of him at Grimmauld Place. During Harry, Ron, and Hermione's quest to find the Horcruxes, Hermione keeps his portrait in her beaded bag to avoid him telling Snape of their whereabouts. Phineas went down in history as the most hated Hogwarts headmaster, and players could experience a very different character from the gentle and wise Dumbledore they might remember from the books and films. Phineas as a character would likely be more similar to experiencing caretaker Argus Filch as a headmas


The release of this game has also led some fans to imagine other incredibly popular movie universes that would make for fantastic open world games. Some of these universes would be so well suited to an open world game that it is shocking they haven’t been made
