Hogwarts Legacy: 5 Things We Know (And 5 Questions That Need Answers)

Having the choice to study Runes and Transfiguration in fourth year, rather than carry on with Charms, for instance, would be a novel way to allow players to immerse themselves in their characters’ Hogwarts jour

No one is ever shown playing Quidditch in the trailer. However, there is a shot of two students, presumably one being the player, about to start or at least hop on brooms. As this is an RPG, one can expect mini-games. Hopefully, Quidditch will be added like Blitzball was implemented in Final Fantasy

Harry Potter’s fifth year at Hogwarts is a difficult one. Nobody believes him about Lord Voldemort’s return, Rita Skeeter and Cornelius Fudge are out to discredit him, Dolores Umbridge gives him terrible treatment, and Sirius Black dies at the end leaving Harry heartbroken in the proc

Following up on the action-survival stylings of the original more than six years after the original’s release, to say that the core fandom hasn’t anticipated its arrival would be more than a little unfair. However, it is certainly a bit understated compared to other banner RPG releases slated for 2021. Dying Light 2 promises a more expansive open-world environment than its predecessor, and being set twenty years after the original, is likely to delve even further into the post-apocalyptic setting of the zombie epide

Don’t feel any anxiety about which house the sorting hat will place you into because you do get to choose your favorite. An FAQ published on the game’s website confirmed that you do get to choose Slytherin, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, or the other one (just kidding, Hufflepuf

The trailer features a quick shot of a practice target, which may represent a training area for slinging spells, but nothing but rumors exist at this time. The combat system will undoubtedly revolve around this element, so desperate questions need answering in the months to c

If players have the opportunity to change everything about the wizarding world’s future, the 1800s is the best setting for the game. The noblest of witches and wizards attended their respective schools during this time with Wizard Hitler’s followers. If the red-haired woman in the trailer is a clue as well, Hogwarts Legacy Money Guide is likely to have Weasleys that will join you going to classic and even weird locations fans have wanted to explo

It’s unclear what broomsticks would be available at this point in the timeline since it’s far too early for a Nimbus 2000 or Firebolt. However, players might be able to craft their own unique flying objects to glide through the sk

Continuing in the vein of the preceding Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Wrath of the Righteous is a classically styled isometric CRPG drawing on — as one might guess — the wildly popular Pathfinder tabletop RPG. Having far surpassed its original KickStarter goals, this indirect sequel promises more classes, deeper mechanics, and a brand new narrative for players to pur

Diablo II: Resurrected certainly has the profile of a AAA release, but gamers who weren’t around for this premiere ARPG’s heyday may be tempted to pass it over in anticipation of Diablo 4 — needless to say, they’d be missing out. Diablo II’s core gameplay elements will largely be intact, barring the graphical overhaul and a few QOL additions that are sure to please both veteran fans and newcom

Houses can be chosen. That much is for sure. What isn’t known yet is if this game will have a Mass Effect -like morality system. That said, the trailer might indicate that students could go an evil route. In the fight against the dragon breaking free, the bottom right corner shows a masked man aiding the player. Maybe the skull masks aren’t all evil, but this could point to students being able to go a different p

The Red Dead Redemption franchise is a fantastic example of immersing the audience in an open-world universe. Through the character customization, the side stories, and the way in which the setting is designed, there’s perhaps no greater title for giving players the experience of being a real gunsling

Without the haunting specter of fascist racists threatening to kill Harry and overrun the government, who are the baddies? Also, are those basilisk fangs on that dark wizard’s bandolier? Since the reveal trailer dropped in September 2020, fan theories abound about how the dark wizards with skull masks fit into the narrat

While there might be something worth saying about the possibility of having the game choose randomly, no one wants to play under a banner they haven’t associated with for years. Competing for house points should reach new heights in Hogwarts Legacy, and it’s something to look forward to (or fight ov

**** Characters can be different genders, races, and even enter varying school houses. This is an open-world game with RPG elements after all. The zoom in on the owl on the carriage might also indicate players can choose a pet. Maybe it will always be an owl though which would also be f
