Hogwarts Legacy has been delayed into 2022, in order to give "the game the time it needs".
Hogwarts Legacy 2 will arrive no earlier than 2027, as Warner Bros plans major franchise returns between 2027 and 2028.
Thats ok ! Take Your time and make it gooood.
Playing the first one these days, and got a long way to go before finishing. Awesome game! Gonna 100% it.
I got mine just 5$ for switch 1 version and 5$ for switch 2 upgrade! Very beautiful game.
Man I hope they emphasize the school aspect and minimize the open world Ubisoft-ness of the first game. Open world is fine but it felt like every other game when I left the school.
This is interesting considering they canned the planned DLC and Netflix said they did not even consider the gaming division an asset when evaluating the company.
Remember all the websites that tried to cancel the game? It triggered the games media so much many refused to review it (Eurogamer + many more), or they they low-scored the game not because of its quality but because of the trans issues (The Guardian.) They to alienate the public to such a degree that it backfired and it lost them the trust of their readers. How many have had layoffs or gone to the wall since then? Kotaku, Polygon, Eurogamer, GamesIndustry.biz, Rock Paper Shotgun, VG247, etc. They didn't listen to their audience and they thought that their voices were enough to kill public demand - it wasn't. Hogwarts Legacy launched and delivered a bona fide adventure in the Harry Potter universe. This game demonstrates in the best way that publishers shouldn't listen to the games media, or advocacy groups, or online campaigns - just give the players the game that they want. Hogwarts Legacy could get to 50 million.
Epic Games Store has announced Hogwarts Legacy as its new free mystery game, available until December 18.
Damn, and there's the first big video game delay of 2021.
Really looking forward to this one too :-(
I think Cyberpunk is rly giving devs wakeup calls in terms of quality.
Really looking forward to this game. I imagined that it would come late this year anyway so a 2022 date doesn't bother me too much. Glad they announced the delay early at least.
This might be unrelated, or maybe it isn't - but I wonder if CDPRs failings sends consumer positive ripples in the industry. Suits might think twice before they make a decision to release a unpolished/unfinished game. They might be more likely to delay the game to make it better after seeing what happened to Cyberpunk.
:(
Wont be the last, I've a feeling Covid will cause more games to slip into 2022.
