It was recently reported that Hogwarts Legacy, the upcoming open-world Harry Potter game, might slip to 2023. However, a newly published blog post on the official Wizarding World website still lists the game as releasing in 2222.
"The Hogwarts Legacy video game will be arriving this year," the post said.
Hogwarts Legacy is being developed by Avalanche Software, the former Disney Infinity studio that was acquired by Warner Bros (not to be confused by Just Cause studio Avalanche Studios). An action-RPG, Hogwarts Legacy is set in the late 1880s and lets players embark on their own journey through the wizarding world.
"From learning powerful spells and brewing potions, to honing combat skills and taming magical beasts, this game will allow players to experience the magical world as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry like never before as they determine the fate of the entire wizarding world," reads a line from the game's description.
Author J.K. Rowling is not directly involved with Hogwarts Legacy. Outside of the game series, the next Fantastic Beasts movie, The Secrets of Dumbledore, will be released in April 2022.
Have A Nice Death, the hand-drawn indie roguelite that was announced at last year's Game Awards, now has an official release date. Developer Magic Design Studios will launch on March 8 via Steam early access, for a price of $15.
The so-called "hack'n'scythe" 2D roguelite puts players in the role of Death, the founder and CEO of Death, Incorporated, a huge company responsible for processing the souls of the deceased. As Death, players will have to fight through the company headquarters in a bid to subdue a number of Death, Inc. employees who have been collecting more souls than the company can handle. The game's bosses are made up of the company's heads of department, who are also called Sorrows.
The game will initially release on Steam and Valve's Steam Deck, when it becomes available. Players can wishlist the game on Steam now in anticipation of the early access release on March 8. On its Steam page, Magic Design Studios says the game is intended to stay in early access for around a year before the full version is released, with the studio saying it's "been excited about creating a game with the help of our players."
Here’s one way to get this author to watch anime: adapt Shenmue into an all-new series. While this is re-treading the plot beats of the Dreamcast originals, it’s unbelievably exciting to see the games transformed like this. Many will lament the loss of the cheesy OG voice acting – especially when they’re reading an almost identical script to the games – but stick with it and the trailer really hits.
The show – a collaboration between Adult Swim and Crunchyroll – will premiere on 5th February, so you don’t even have to wait long to watch this. What do you think of the trailer? Are you excited to follow Ryo Hazuki’s quest for revenge in a whole new medium? Prove you’re as groovy as Goro in the comments section below.
SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighters’ Clash could be the most deep and lengthy NEO GEO Pocket Color game to be rereleased yet. The cards’ pixel art is astonishing, and while it can take a few matches to get into the game, the card battles themselves are strategic and a blast to play. For $8, this […]
