For nylig sagde tidligere IGN-journalist Colin Moriarty, at Hogwarts Legacy ikke bare var i udviklingsvanskeligheder, men at det stod til at blive forsinket til 2023. Om hvorvidt han i virkeligheden har ret ved vi stadig ikke, men vi ved dog at udvikleren selv insisterer på en lancering i år.
Wizarding World har udgivet et bredt blogindlæg, hvor de ser frem til forskellige Harry Potter-relaterede begivenheder, og her, med en stor fed overskrift, slår de fast at "The Hogwarts Legacy video game will be arriving this year".
"2022 is also the year when the highly anticipated console game from Warner Bros. Games' Portkey Games label, Hogwarts Legacy, is set to be released. Developed by Avalanche Software, this action RPG allows players to be at the centre of their own adventure set during the late 1800s wizarding world. From learning powerful spells and brewing potions, to honing combat skills and taming magical beasts, this game will allow players to experience the magical world as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry like never before as they determine the fate of the entire wizarding world."
Det er ret klart i spyttet, og står i stærk kontrast til Moriartys ord.
