So, here’s a game based on the best part of one of the biggest franchises of our time. Now, how can Hogwarts Legacy do what other lore building material like the Fantastic Beasts series couldn’t? Well, I have some id

Although not directly involved in the development of Hogwarts Legacy, Rowling does stand to earn royalties from the game.

Games like Skyrim have found the perfect balance of plot with purpose. Quests don’t feel bogged down and include adventure and challenge across the board. Some quests are much higher in difficulty than others, while the main storyline is enriched by what players accomplish before going to the main plot points on the map. By making sure that everything players do affects the story they are immersed in, the exploration process is rewarding. If Hogwarts Legacy is able to integrate the world into it’s story, and put value on side quests and a filled-out map, the game could be very successful. A map that has no weight or purpose will not feel worth exploring or useful to the game, so quality content is
My suggestion would be to introduce Dark Arts as a skill – powerful spells that would drastically turn the tide in your favour, but are of course banned due to their volatile nature. You then layer it with something akin to the Karma meter from the Infamous series and Avada Kedavra! You now not only have a purview into the “dark path”, but also have to constantly fight off the temptation to use it. Your “Legacy” now depends on which side of the meter you swing towards by the end of the g
Open world games have become a work of art in the gaming community, and games like Skyrim set the benchmark for including a well-balanced plot alongside an expansive world worth adventuring out into. With attention to detail, and a careful combination of exploration and main plot events, Hogwarts Legacy _ could easily join the best of the genre. By bringing a well-loved world like _Harry Potter to life, fans finally have the chance to explore Hogwarts like never before. With luck the world will be filled with everything a gamer could possibly want, and the magic that every fan has dreamed
We lasted a whole week without Cyberpunk 2077 drama, but we’re back in it now. CD Projekt Red founder Marcin Iwinski released a video on Twitter that discussed the launch disaster . The team’s aim is to work on the last-gen versions of the game, in order to get them up to speed. This means that the PS5/Xbox Series updates have been pushed back to the second half of 2021 . It seems that even the fans who own the current-gen versions would have benefitted from waiting a year before purchasing the g
Upon releasing an announcement trailer at the PS5 Showcase , the developers also added a wallpaper that proves Hogwarts Legacy may be breaking Harry Potter canon to their website. Obviously, the wallpaper puts the Hogwarts castle at centerstage, but just to the right of Hogwarts Legacy Guide|https://hogwartslegacyfans.com/ is a very particular looking tree. The tree is the infamous Whomping Willow, which has been an intriguing part of Hogwarts for a long t
Now, the tree in the wallpaper could just be another tree, but the placement and the cosmetics of it are just too coincidentally similar to the Whomping Willow. There is also the question of whether or not Hogwarts Legacy is actually canon within the Wizarding World. If not, the developers have a massive opportunity to truly tell their own version of Hogwarts and the Wizarding World. However, being canon would mean there are pre-existing stories the game needs to be aware of, and remain within the constraints of those stor
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
The biggest stories of the week include the return of Lucasfilm Games, more Cyberpunk 2077 drama, new Nintendo Switch game announcements, the Hitman 3 EGS controversy, the Indiana Jones game announcement, and several high-profile del
While released content for **Hogwarts Legacy ** is currently limited, it is already clear that the new addition to the Harry Potter franchise is planning on an open world game with active exploration. With access to areas like Hogsmeade and the Forbidden Forest, as well as Hogwarts itself, it is clear that this game is planning on taking the magical world of Harry Potter to the next level for fans of the series and gamers alike. However, in the past Harry Potter games have been linear, with limited exploration available to players. What can Hogwarts Legacy learn from open world games like Skyrim that have set the standard for RPG explorat
