Hey everyone,
Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory.
In today’s brief video, I’ve got more exciting Harry Potter news.
It seems like lately, for the first time in years, Harry Potter has been topical again-
mainly thanks to the release of TWO separate trailers for the upcoming Fantastic Beasts
film - The Secrets of Dumbledore.
The film is due to be released next month, but as it turns out, that’s not all we’re
getting in 2022- Harry Potter fans will also be delighted to hear that Hogwarts Legacy-
the long awaited Harry Potter game, will also be coming out this year.
In today’s video, we’re going to be discussing the game and an important update from Playstation.
On September 16, Playstation dropped the initial trailer for Hogwarts Legacy on their YouTube
channel, and to say that the trailer got some fans excited is certainly an understatement.
With over 28 million views and 763,000 LIKES, I think it’s safe to say that this is a
game that fans want.
The trailer, which is only 2.5 minutes long, was the first shred of new Harry Potter game
content that we’ve had in a very long time, and it showed us the wizarding world in a
bit of a different light, during a time period predating the traditional Harry Potter story.
The game, which is brought to us by Portkey Games and Avalanche Software, takes place
100+ years before Harry starts attending Hogwarts- in the late 1800s!
Creators of the game have also since released press releases confirming that the game is
in fact an “an open-world, action role-playing game” which will allow you to create your
own personal witch or wizard, and spec them exactly as you want them to be.”
“Players will experience life as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
like never before, as they live the unwritten and embark on a dangerous journey to uncover
a hidden truth of the wizarding world.”
Okay- now that you’ve got an idea of what the game is about, let me address the update
from Playstation.
On March 14 2022 (today), Chandler Wood, who is the Community Manager for WB Games Avalanche,
wrote a post on the Playstation blog entitled ‘Live the Unwritten in Thursday’s Hogwarts
Legacy State of Play’.
If you aren’t familiar, ‘State of Play’ is a video program hosted by Playstation where
they showcase all of the latest updates, announcements and new trailers from the world of PlayStation.
This means we’re going to see PROPER, lengthy footage from the game for the first time.
Let’s read out some of the article so we know what to expect:
“Get the first in-depth look at Hogwarts Legacy gameplay from Avalanche on March 17.
Avalanche Software and Warner Bros. Games are happy to partner with PlayStation to bring
you a special edition of State of Play entirely dedicated to Hogwarts Legacy.
The broadcast will begin this Thursday, March 17 at 2 PM Pacific Time / 5 PM Eastern Time.
Since we first revealed Hogwarts Legacy, the trailer has been viewed over 28 million times
on the PlayStation YouTube channel.
We promised to share more this year, and we’re finally ready to deliver on that promise.
The show will run for about 20 minutes, featuring over 14 minutes of Hogwarts Legacy gameplay
captured on PS5, and concluding with some insight from a few members of the team at
Avalanche Software who are bringing the Wizarding World to life.
Join us Thursday for this Hogwarts Legacy State of Play on Twitch or YouTube.
Don’t forget to head back here to the PlayStation.Blog afterward for a special post that will add
a little more context to what we’re about to show you.
This is an incredible moment that we’ve been building towards for a long time.
We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on.”
I’ve been waiting for this game for a long time and I can’t wait to review the footage.
If you want to see the action as soon as possible, then pop over to the Playstation Youtube channel
and be sure to set a reminder for the big reveal like I have.
And that’s it for today’s video!
