A new report says the upcoming Harry Potter: Hogwarts Legacy action role-playing game could very well be delayed to next year.
There have been numerous Harry Potter video games released over the years, but certainly none have been as ambitious as the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy. Hogwarts Legacy is an AAA action RPG set in the Harry Potter universe that gives gamers the chance to become a wizard and take classes at Hogwarts. It’s a dream game idea for many Harry Potter fans, and although the game is slated to launch this year, a new report says it may have to be pushed back. with the original intention.
Hogwarts Legacy was in the past slated for a 2021 release, but then Warner Bros. Interactive announced that they had to delay the Hogwarts Legacy release date to an unspecified time in 2022. We haven’t had any updates on the game since then, and it seems to follow Colin Moriarty on the Sacred Symbols podcast, the Hogwarts Legacy will most likely be delayed to 2023.
Moriarty, a longtime industry insider, says he’s heard the Hogwarts Legacy may not launch in 2022 as scheduled. Moriarty added that the game could be “having some trouble”, and that doesn’t seem to be a happy sign for Harry Potter fans, especially those looking forward to playing the Hogwarts Legacy next 2022. However, before gamers get too worried about Moriarty’s report, it’s best to wait for an official announcement from the developers themselves.
As it stands, the community has not had any updates on Hogwarts Legacy since the announcement of the game’s release date delay was made last year. Many gamers had hoped to see the game at various events like the PlayStation State of Play and The Game Awards showcases, but these events just came and went without any mention of Hogwarts. Legacy.
One possibility for Warner Bros. They didn’t release the game because they were trying to avoid the backlash from the community that stemmed from JK Rowling’s comments about transgender people. The Harry Potter author has caused considerable controversy because of the various comments she makes about the transgender community, and that has led to quite a few problems with the Harry Potter universe, including the Hogwarts game. Legacy is coming soon.
Several unsubstantiated reports indicated that the Hogwarts Legacy was indeed supposed to be at The Game Awards 2021, but were withdrawn due to Rowling’s comment and the announcement of the Wonder Woman game instead. It’s unclear if those claims are true, but either way, gamers should get updates on the Hogwarts Legacy sooner or later.
