The Nerd Stash: "The lead-up to the Switch successor console has been particularly aggravating for fans, though, as they continue to feel like a new console with updated specs is necessary in the face of the Switch’s poor performance with current-gen titles. There are very few cases of this being better exemplified than with the recent Switch port of Hogwarts Legacy."
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.
It's not even poor performance the graphics just aren't as good as far as I know.
Next Switch will be like Series S, bare minimum graphics for demanding third party titles and locked 30fps.
Nintendo just needs plenty of first party games that look good & run well, with plenty of content.
Third party should be left unless the game can look decent and run well.
Knowing Nintendo, the Switch 2 will be just as underpowered and you'll have to rebuy all your games.
It proves those Nintendo people should have a 2nd console either Xbox or PS or steam deck for these 3rd party games. It'll solve that problem.
We've known well before the release of Hogwarts Legacy that Nintendo has needed release a Switch 2. This is extremely old news.
