Rumor: Leaked 'Harry Potter' Game Title Revealed

3.8
This morning we saw some footage of what appears to be a AAA Harry Potter game in development from a WB Interactive studio -- either Rocksteady or, more likely, Avalanche Software. If you have no idea what I'm talking about and you didn't see the footage, you can check out our coverage here. The trailer instantly went viral, and Harry Potter fans are losing their minds. Now, BBC Entertainment Correspondent Lizo Mzimba is chiming in, claiming that he may have the jump on the game's title (or titles):



"Magic Awakened" would be a fitting title since, according to the leaked game description, we'll be assuming the role of a character who has a unique, latent power dwelling inside of them. This power is apparently enables the witch or wizard to identify and track traces of a potent ancient power that will, we assume, affect the fate of the wizarding world at large.

According to the description, players will arrive at Hogwarts in their fifth year. This sounds like a bold move, forgoing the usual introduction to Hogwarts and sorting, but the "throw them into the fire" approach worked wonderfully for Marvel's Spider-Man, and gave the developers the perfect excuse to make players feel powerful and able straight away. A few more details:

"Upon arrival, strange events begin to materialize In the Forbidden Forrest and trouble begins o brew within the castle walls. Together with Professor Elezar Fig, you embark on a journey through both familiar and never before seen locations to bring to light the truth behind these mysterious occurrences.

"On your quest you will craft potions, master new spells, and discover fantastical beasts. You will battle Dark Wizards, Goblins, and other supernatural enemies and uncover the truth about your destiny - the Fate of the Wizarding World lies in your hands."

Craig I want this game to be good, as the potential it has is mind bending. I just hope they don't ruin it too much.


Given the quality of previous AAA Harry Potter games I won't be holding my breath -_-""


True, but hopefully this time around it'll be much better: they have the tools and people to really create a majestic game this time around. There's so much potential for this game / series and I honestly can't wait to find out more. An open world Harry Potter RPG that's similar to Fable or The Witcher for example would be an absolute insta-buy for me.

This has potential to be amazing. Hope it's true and they don't screw it up.
