Hogwarts Legacy: 10 Other Movie Universes That Deserve An Open World Game

The class may be a little hokey in some places, but there's a lot of fun to be had with reading tea leaves and trying to figure out what the crystal ball is really trying to tell the students. This is a lesson that could even play into the larger plot of the g


Hogwarts Legacy , from Avalanche Software, is __ the latest video game title in the Harry Potter franchise currently in development and looks to be published by Portkey Games, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, and Cossona. While details about the title are certainly being kept close to the vest, there's definitely a range of successful games it could draw inspiration f


Reports have emerged today that the upcoming Harry Potter RPG Hogwarts Legacy will include a trans-inclusive character creator . Usually, when I hear that a video game is going to be trans-inclusive, my first thought is "oh that’s good, I hope they don’t mess it up." With Hogwarts Legacy, it’s a lot more complicated than that. Harry Potter as a franchise - and this game in particular - has a lot of red in the ledger when it comes to trans inclusivity. Not only is there JK Rowling’s history of transphobia to consider, there’s also the fact that the game’s lead designer Troy Leavitt used to run a GamerGate-adjacent, anti-SJW YouTube channel. It would be disingenuous to suggest that Hogwarts Legacy is building off a blank slate when it comes to including trans charact


Introducing a new character in a new era of the Lord Of The Rings series, the game could have certainly encountered some narrative issues; especially since they strayed from the source material . Yet it prevailed, teaching a valuable lesson to Hogwarts Legacy. What's more, the nemesis system would definitely work within the upcoming HP ti


The Hogwarts Legacy reveal trailer opens with the playable character's overdue arrival at Hogwarts and states the setting takes place in the late 1800s. Generally speaking, this could be 1850 onward, although it's more likely to take place after the late 1860s. That said, here's a look at some important events that took place from the mid 1800s through the turn of the cent

The lesson here is to take risks with the narrative. Hogwarts Mystery is after all set during Harry's era of the school's history, yet is still allowed a great deal of creative freedom. The ongoing storytelling, organized in chapters, is definitely something Hogwarts Legacy house guide Legacy could c


I’m not sure Hogwarts Legacy’s trans character creator makes that big of a difference to the game’s place in the industry, what it represents, or whether it absolves the game of any of JK Rowling’s baked-in guilt. It certainly doesn’t change how I feel about it. Hopefully, though, it can at least be a helpful stepping stone for a triple-A game to one day get trans representation right from start to finish. Until then, yet again the game industry is moving two steps forward, one step b


The Great Lake and the Forbidden Forest are two areas of Hogwarts' grounds that players have been able to explore in past Harry Potter video games. They are also a key part of the story throughout the films and bo


Flying is taught at quite an early age at Hogwarts, with all witches and wizards getting a basic lesson in how to pick up, hold and mount a broom, before taking off into the skies. It's a lesson that some pick up quicker than others, which Hermione and Ron would freely admit


On the other hand, games are developed by hundreds of staff, and the views of two people - even arguably the two most influential figures involved in said game - will not be shared by everyone. According to this report, the whole reason this trans inclusivity exists is because of pressure from the developers lower down the totem pole who are keen to balance out the views of Rowling in particular. But even then, we don’t know enough to be sure if this push for balance is out of a genuine desire to see trans representation in the game, or to get out in front of any incoming criticism. The fact you could stick a willy on a woman in Cyberpunk 2077 was frequently used to silence trans critiques of the game’s more problematic elements, and it’s natural that some Hogwarts Legacy devs might hope a trans witch could do the same for their own game. We just don’t k
