– PlayStation March 14, 2022
Leaked in 2018 and announced in 2020, the game has been delayed until 2022. Since that delay, we’ve heard very little about the game, prompting publisher Warner Bros. To say again and again that the game is still about to arrive this year. We’ve previously heard that the game could arrive after the next Fantastic Beasts movie, but this demo might give us a more specific date.
The game, set in the 19th century, will see a custom character thrown into the world of Hogwarts, allowing players to take part in lessons, be part of a sorting party, visit Hogsmeade, and more. While it’s partnering with PlayStation at this reveal event, the game is meant to be released on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
The game sparked discussion about her relationship with Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who has become prominent in recent years for her anti-transgender comments. Warner Bros. said. The author is not directly involved in the game, but the leadership said “it has the right to express its personal opinion.” Reports have since suggested that the game will allow the creation of transgender characters.
