One of the more interesting aspects of the leak is that the game will feature a “nemesis” system similar to the Middle-earth series. As far as combat is concerned, the post described it as a “slow burn” but that the game’s story builds up to some intense moments that you can’t just button-mash your way through. Players will also be able to make decisions that are deemed “Good” or “Evil,” which can impact how powerful certain abilities are, though you can’t learn any of the Forbidden Spells. The post didn’t lay it all out, but it did say that there are spells that let you slow down time and others that let you control monsters, neither of which sound very much like Harry Potter. Each house has its own unique questline, too, so where you’re sorted can impact your experience of the game, though you can’t side with the game’s main villain, which is a powerful Death Eater but not Voldemort, according to the leak.īeyond the more superficial elements of the character creator, the game will also have a “robust” skill tree that will let you focus your magical abilities.

Since you will be playing as a Hogwarts student, you will be sorted into one of the school’s four houses based on decisions you make in the character creation section. While the appearance and the stats of the character are customizable-as is whether they’re “muggle born, pure blood or half blood”-the main character will have a set last name that other characters in the game will call them. Players will take on the role of a customized Hogwarts student who’s transferring from another wizarding school and starting their fifth year at the British academy. Instead, it’s called Hogwarts: A Dark Legacy and takes place several generations after the period portrayed in the Harry Potter novels and movies, contradicting previous rumors based on leaked footage that the game would take place in the 19th Century. Take the following with a grain of salt, and beware of potential spoilers.Īccording to a post from someone claiming to work in the marketing department at Warner Bros., the game won’t have “Harry Potter” in the title. Still, that’s a big if, as the leaker provides no sources or proof.

A Reddit post from someone claiming to work on the still-unconfirmed Harry Potter RPG has allegedly revealed some major details about the game, and some of the details are surprising if true.
