Interesting that it can run on the switch tbh. Still deciding whether to get the PC or ps5 version

DeathTouch1534d ago

Probably the PS4 version with some caps.

phoenixwing1534d ago

I recently got a PlayStation 5 but my gaming PC is relatively matched at a 2070 super rtx gpu. I'll have to wait for digital foundry to cover it I guess when it releases

VenomUK1534d ago

The first screenshot on Switch. It's not exactly the same as the PS5/XB1 version but it captures the essence of Hogwarts mystery perfectly.

It can't run on Switch.
It will most likely be streamed and probably run like crap as most of those games streamed on Switch.

IanTH1534d ago

Unsure. I would have agreed, but there is a physical box art that doesn't have the normally impossible to miss text detailing it is either a streaming or digital only game that doesn't include a cartridge. Also, I don't think steaming only games get physical releases. Digital codes, yes, but I don't think streaming - to this point, at least - has been buyable in a box.

Then again, sounds like a lot is unknown at this point. It would be really interesting if they could make it work, though.

Based on there being a physical edition, it would seem its not a cloud version.

It makes sense to some degree, Harry Potter is a huge brand and they probably want the game to reach the biggest audience possible, so they might have pushed for a Switch port

Neonridr1534d ago

unless the "physical" version is an empty box, would seem kind of pointless, no?

Jin_Sakai1534d ago

PS5 version for me. I can only imagine how the Switch version will look and perform. We need Switch 2 asap!

AzubuFrost1534d ago

The OLED should've been the Switch 2 last year. Or at least an upgraded Switch version with improved hardware, speed, etc.

RaidenBlack1534d ago (Edited 1534d ago )

This running on Switch? Or is it a streamable version?
SE did announce Guardians of the Galaxy for Switch as well and I thought, how're they gonna make it work?
Only to find out that its a cloud version.
And Hogwarts is even more ambitious game than Guardians.

Eonjay1534d ago

Square is famous for its cloud based Switch games so yes this could be it.

BrainSyphoned1534d ago

Always loved when an IP had a console release and the title got released for the Game Boy by a completely different developer.

Hogwarts Legacy 2 Planned for No Earlier Than 2027, With More Major WB Games Releasing the Same Year

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.

repsahj89d ago

I got mine just 5$ for switch 1 version and 5$ for switch 2 upgrade! Very beautiful game.

scorpio_204989d ago

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.

Hogwarts Legacy Passes 40 Million Units Sold

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.

I really enjoyed this game and I got the Plat

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.

andy85161d ago

Same. Never even read harry potter either and it still interested me

gold_drake162d ago

fuck off what lol

DaReapa161d ago

I wonder how much did last week's Epic Games giveaway factor into those numbers?
