Don't start packing your trunk just yet, wizard wannabes. Hogwarts Legacy won't make it for this year after all. After years of rumors, Warner Bros. finally announced the big open world wizards game near the end of 2020 with their plans to release it in 2021. No such luck after all, though. Hogwarts Legacy will now be arriving sometime in 2022.

Hogwarts Legacy might be set 200 years before lightning-face shows up, but it couldn't pre-empt the series creator's transphobic outbursts. Following its debut at last night's Playstation show, publishers Warner Bros. have attempted to reassure troubled fans that author JK Rowling is not "directly involved" in the game's production - though they're being cagey on just how, exactly, she stands to benefit from the game's success.

After years of leaks and rumours, Warner Bros. today finally announced they're making a Harry Potter open-world action-RPG set around the Hogwarts Boarding School For Magicians. A twist: Hogwarts Legacy is set at the school back in the 1800s, so we should see none of that pesky Potter boy. Coming next year, it's being made by Avalanche Software, the studio behind Disney Infinity - not to be confused with the Just Cause and Mad Max gang at Avalanche Studios. Come see the announcement trailer.

Ever since a pretty convincing video of apparent development footage leaked two years ago, there's been plenty of speculation about a rumored Harry Potter RPG in development by Avalanche Software. Warner Bros. still haven't officially announced or acknowledged the game's existence, but a new report by Bloomberg based on information from two people working on it claims that it "remains on track for next year."

If you want to murder monsters as a wizard, video games already have you well-covered. But if you wish to murder monsters as an official Harry Potter's Wizardly World Of Wizards And Wizarding wizard at Hogwarts? You'd better cross your fingers and hope that supposed leaked video footage of a shiny new wiztacular going round today is real. The rumour says an open-world action-RPG let us create our own wizkid to attend Hogwarts in the 19th century and zap baddies. Rumours also whisper that Just Cause developers Avalanche may be behind it. If it's real.
