Harry Potter: RPG would be next-gen and open world, details on release date and announcement

The next chatted video game of Harry Potter, which would be an RPG and titled Harry Potter: A Dark Legacyis becoming more concrete than it has ever been. After years of rumor, in fact, the journalist Jason Schreier, in force at Bloomberg and known for his precise advances on the world of video games, he consulted some sources close to the development of the title, revealing some of his important details.

The two sources in question have made it known that, first of all, the game would not be made by Monolith Software, but by Avalanche Software (you will remember her for the series Disney Infinity, for example) – as some leaks had suggested a couple of months ago. In addition, the reporter confirms that among the consoles on which the game will land we also find Xbox Series X e PlayStation 5 – which therefore suggests work in progress designed for the debut on next-gen. Within the game, users could explore a ampio open world that reproduces in detail Hogwarts, as well as the surrounding areas.

The two sources also confirmed that this themed title Harry Potter would be the most important one being worked on at Warner Bros., along with a themed project Batman still not announced (and which seems to be related to Suicide Squad). The exit would be waiting for 2021, despite some logistical problems related to its development, from COVID-19 to some comments that are not exactly easy to manage, from a communicative point of view, by the author JK Rowling.

About the writer, Schreier’s sources let it be known that she is involved in the video game, but only marginally: «One of the people working on the game pointed out that Rowling has very little direct involvement», writes Schreier on Bloomberg.

The reporter also anticipates Warner Bros’ future plans: the idea would be to unveil the new Batman in August, in the appointment with DC FanDome, with the game of Harry Potter following. Let’s not expect news, therefore, before the announcement of Batman (The Suicide Squad that it is).
