Apart from spells, potion brewing is probably one of the most important skills a witch or wizard needs to learn. A vast and intricate potion brewing system would not only suit the game, but enhance the open world experience of exploring Hogwarts. Besides providing buffs and resistance, potions would aid you in other ways like gaining access to restricted areas – via invisibility for instance. Or perhaps prevent the Whomping Willow from detecting
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
As a result of all this, many have labeled Rowling a TERF (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist) – a label Rowling denied in her essay – and calls to boycott Harry Potter -related media have since circulated. Hogwarts United ‘s reveal was met with a corresponding reception. With Rowling’s book sales lagging during the controversy, it seems Hogwarts United ‘s sales could indeed be impacted, and public backlash could begin to steer publishers away from future Harry Potter projects. Some fans, however, express concern for the many developers who worked on the game, saying they had nothing to do with Rowling’s comments and don’t deserve punishment. But buying the game may not impact them at all, either
Editor’s Note: Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling has been accused of transphobia by those in the LGBTQ+ community. Although not directly involved in the development of Hogwarts Legacy, Rowling does stand to earn royalties from the game. We would like to reiterate our support for trans rights and that trans identities are valid. Support services are listed below for trans people impacted by discussions of transpho
Spellbreak is a battle royale that thrusts players into the role of a battlemage. This multiplayer game brings on the fantastical chaos of The Battle of Hogwarts with stunning, anime-inspired visuals. Players work in teams to decimate their foes with devastating spells. Unlike in Hogwarts Legacy , magic has been banned , and it’s up to players to take it back. Across the Hollow Lands, Spellbreak players discover items that gift them abilities such as flight, invisibility, and hogwartslegacyfans.Com teleportation. The player can also wield two spell-fueled gauntlets at once to create intense spell combinati
After backlash to the latter comments, Rowling published a lengthy essay in defense of her stance. The author said she was concerned trans activism would ” erode ‘woman’ as a political and biological class ,” open the door for male predators to prey on women under the guise of being trans, and harm young people who transition and end up regretting it. In later tweets, Rowling compared hormone prescriptions to conversion therapy . Her latest book, Troubled Blood , also features a cross-dressing, male serial killer, according to The Independe
The Pokemon Company revealed that New Pokemon Snap will be released on April 30 . The game is set in the brand new Lental region, and it will involve the player taking photos of 200 Pokemon. There is something making the Pokemon glow, called the Illumina phenomenon, and it’s up to the player to investigate
I’m not the biggest Harry Potter Fan, but I do love a good RPG. I can’t deny that there’s tons of source material from the books that could be transmogged into RPG mechanics. I just hope that the developers see that,
Big changes are happening in the world of Star Wars video games, as EA’s vice-like grip on the license is starting to loosen. Disney announced that the Lucasfilm Games branding is returning and that it will apply to all Star Wars games, both past, and present. It will also be used for games based on other Lucasfilm propert
It seems that the Lucasfilm Games logo won’t be reserved for Star Wars games, as an Indiana Jones game is being developed by Bethesda Softworks and MachineGames , with Todd Howard acting as executive producer. Almost nothing is known about the game at this point. We don’t know its genre, platforms, or if Harrison Ford is on board for voices. It’s possible that it’s early enough in development to be an Xbox Series X/S exclusive, but we won’t know for a while
**Hogwarts Legacy ** has had no shortage of controversies, particularly regarding its creators, but the team is making efforts to prove it won’t define the new game. Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling has gained a lot of attention online in recent years following her dismissive comments towards transgender people as well as retroactively making key characters gay to seem diverse. This caused some discomfort with the team working on Hogwarts Legacy , with many trying to distance themselves as much as they could for a game that benefits Rowl
