Claims long-awaited Harry Potter game is coming in 2021 – VG

Players will have the opportunity to explore an open, magical world in the new game, the site writes. Warner Bros., which sits on the rights, has not confirmed anything, but according to sources close to the production, the project is “very real”.

The game will be ready for next year and will be available on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

Rumors started after a video leaked on Reddit in 2018. Since then, fans have speculated on the know-how and the broad action and launch date. Bloomberg sources now confirm that the video is real.

Warner Bros. had originally planned to reveal the news at this year’s E3, but when the gaming conference was canceled due to the corona, they chose to keep the secret.

Rowling’s statements have caused unrest

The same sources say that production has faced challenges. Not only does it have the corona virus and a possible sale of Warner Bros. Interactive made the road bumpy, but JK Rowling has also caused concern among the workers.

The Harry Potter writer has become very unpopular among many, after numerous statements about transgender people.

The controversy must have been an issue among the staff, and several should have felt uncomfortable following the author’s statements, and that the company’s management declined to comment on them.

IGN has previously claimed that the game’s action is added to Galtvort, and that players can choose whether they want to be good or bad.

The game will, according to the site’s own sources, provide an insight into the wizarding world that neither movies nor books have done before.

Still, Bloomberg sources say that much of the guesswork on the game’s action has been wrong.
