I can’t help but wonder if Gotham Knights is next
Avalanche Software is pushing its open-world action-RPGHogwarts Legacyfrom 2021 to 2022.
The delay was announced onTwitterthis morning, with a short statement thankingHarry Potterfans for their “tremendous reaction” toHogwarts Legacy. “Creating the best possible experience for all of the Wizarding World and gaming fans is paramount to us so we are giving the game the time it needs.”
We’ve only gotten one good look atHogwarts Legacy– there wasa reveal trailerback in September during the PS5 showcase event – but otherwise, we’ve been left to glean details from anFAQ.
In case you need a brief refresher, this is asingle-player(I think that’s worth bolding) spell-casting action-RPG about Hogwarts students in the 1800s – so no ‘arry and friends. you may pick your house! And the FAQ is quick to point out that “J.K. Rowling is not directly involved in the creation of the game.”
Even as someone who could take or leaveHarry Potterduring its peak, I like the pitch forHogwarts Legacy, and I feel like it’s the one folks have been waiting for – an earnest attempt with some real ambition behind it. That said, for many people, it’s simply the right game at the wrong time.
Also, I’m starting to wonder how many of the games pegged for 2021 are actually 2022 games.
