New DVD release, , , , , ,
We’ve heard rumors of a major new Harry Potter game in development for quite some time now, but the recent PlayStation showcase finally brought us an official trailer for Hogwarts Legacy. Much of what we previously suspected/heard about this project remains true of the final version. It is indeed a Harry Potter RPG that allows you to roam an open-world version of Hogwarts as a custom created character. That also means that you’ll be able to attend classes, interact with classmates, and generally do all of the things that we associate with the school of magic. What we didn’t know…
