Hogwarts Legacy: 10 Other Movie Universes That Deserve An Open World Game

Editor’s Note: Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling has been accused of transphobia by those in the LGBTQ+ community. Although not directly involved in the development of Hogwarts Legacy, Rowling does stand to earn royalties from the game. We would like to reiterate our support for trans rights and that trans identities are valid. Support services are listed below for trans people impacted by discussions of transpho


The upcoming Hogwarts: Legacy game is one of the most hyped upcoming video game releases. The video game will take the player into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, finally giving fans of this incredible universe a chance to explore the world that they have admired from childhood into adulth


This is where Cyberpunk 2077 comes back in. That too had no non-binary option - presumably non-binary folk went extinct in approximately 2056 - although unlike Hogwarts Legacy, it linked voice to pronoun choice, so at least Hogwarts Legacy appears to be going one better. I suppose while it doesn’t change my thoughts on the game, I am happy that it exists, if only so other games can learn from it. Cyberpunk’s trans representation wasn’t great, but the character creator - flawed as it was - broke an important boundary. Now Hogwarts Legacy is following in its footsteps, though it remains to be seen just how far it will improve upon

Malik never wanted to mooch off LeBron’s fame, nor did he push for his friend to take the Warner Bros. deal even though it would have benefited him. Despite clearly being scared of entering Al-G’s server room, Malik didn’t flee when he saw LeBron and his family disappear, proving the strength of his friendship attrib


While it could prove difficult to create a perfect representation of the World of Ice and Fire in video game form, an open world game could certainly contain the central areas of both Westeros and Essos, giving players a chance to explore the vast history and geography of Martin’s wo

It has been over a year since the game's announcement and reveal trailer, and while most fans were expecting the unreleased title to be featured at E3 2021 , WB Games focused on Back 4 Blood instead, sharing no new updates regarding the production of Hogwarts Legacy . With a postponed release to 2022 and some hints dropped in recent interviews and leaks regarding the official launch date, what we know about this title is still heavily centered on what was initially unveiled when the game was first announ


I know the devs are working hard. I know a lot of them are very good people. But this is true of literally every game. All devs work hard. Unless you buy every video game released each year to show how much you love video game developers, sympathy for the devs just doesn’t wash as a rea


Lord of the Rings is the gold standard of high fantasy. The series has gone on to inspire and influence almost every piece of western fantasy literature since J.R.R. Tolkien published the series in the mid 20th Cent


The narrator in the reveal trailer states that "The choice you make now will define the legacy of Hogwarts Legacy Walkthrough." While suggestions that you can change the future may sound intriguing, what matters is how it lands while playing the game. Developers have to give us more than a so-so reason to stop doing things like adding floating candles to Minecraft to make video games more Harry Potter-l


Funnily enough, Space Jam: A New Legacy went out of its way to sort LeBron James into a Hogwarts house by itself. As seen in the movie, he visited the Harry Potter world and was sorted into Hufflepuff, and the story gave enough evidence to back it


Four mainline games were released on consoles and PC, and two spin-off titles that launched on handheld devices. As a result, there is a lot of lore to tap into throughout the series. The games are littered with historical references and information to read and expand the backstory and events, bringing the world of Deus Ex to l


I’m not sure Hogwarts Legacy’s trans character creator makes that big of a difference to the game’s place in the industry, what it represents, or whether it absolves the game of any of JK Rowling’s baked-in guilt. It certainly doesn’t change how I feel about it. Hopefully, though, it can at least be a helpful stepping stone for a triple-A game to one day get trans representation right from start to finish. Until then, yet again the game industry is moving two steps forward, one step b


The success of Hogwarts Legacy - the success of any Harry Potter project - is her success, and even though she is not involved with the game itself, supporting it is supporting her. It’s not about the money; I know she’s already rich. It’s about the fact she continues to have a platform for her views, continues to be an aspirational public figure, and continues to be celebrated despite repeated transphobic - and often factually incorrect - comments on her blog posts, Twitter account, and even in her nove
