Finally

 

[Kamina]

Looking good

 

[Inxes]

They are putting their dicks in our mouths shamelessly

 

[ARK1391]

I'm in literal shock right now. I can't believe that rumor was true...

 

[NeoGiffer]

 

[Timberwolf25]

I was unimpressed. Looks like current gen, not next gen to me

 

[Andodalf]

Is this cross gen? Id assume so given how long its been in the works

I'm in literal shock right now. I can't believe that rumor was true...

The rumor it would be at the show? Cus we had a leaked trailer for the game 2 years ago and knew it was legit.

 

[Ivory Blood]

Looks incredible. Hope it's on PC too.

edit: The site is up and yes it is - https://hogwartslegacy.warnerbrosgames.com/

 

[LordCBH]

Sony opened the show 3/3 for me. Goddamn I can’t wait for this.

 

[J-Roderton]

Neat. Is this exclusive?

 

[zkorejo]

Not even a HP fan but damn this looked so damn good. I want to know more about it.

 

[Craig of War]

Neat. Is this exclusive?

Probably not it on PC for sure.

 

[Ivory Blood]

Neat. Is this exclusive?

Nope - Xbox, PS and PC.

 

[Andodalf]

OP, per the website it's cross gen and multi plat

 

[Radical Dreamer]

Goddamn I love J.K.Rowling now.

 

[Timberwolf25]

Neat. Is this exclusive?

I don't think so as they didn't put that "console exclusive" banner on it like they did FFXVI

 

[Strategize]

Gotta love the morons on twitter and ERA that think this won't sell like hotcakes because of some barely even "transphobic" shit JK said

 

[martino]

ok but i need to see how it plays too.

 

[Rikkori]

Don't like that trailer, so much cobbled together footage at different quality levels. Saw some clear 20 fps drops in some sections. Very weird choice by WB.

 

[BoxFresh123]

Waited for this to reveal for so long

 

[thebigmanjosh]

This part and the griffin flying looked next-gen. So excited for this game.

 

[Oberstein]

Thank you for giving us Harry Potter J.K. Rowling, Fuck Resetera.

 

[RedVIper]

Looks a bit too colorful for me. But still, this shit is going to sell.

 

[Elcid]

My asshole was relatively calm during this announcement.

 

[Kenpachii]

Holy shit this looks insane.

 

[Husky]

Those visuals look a bit odd. Not sure I understand the appeal of this artstyle. Is this single-player? Hopefully it is, and hopefully it's not shat on by any live service elements.

 

[deriks]

This is pretty nice

 

[whyman]

Looks awesome! Will get at release!

 

[Kenpachii]

Rather see a harry potter mmo to be honest, single player is dead to me.

 

[Kayoba]

Hell yeah, about time!

Can I be an evil Ravenclaw student?

 

[JLMC469]

Looked horrible.

 

[BigBooper]

Looks kinda pretty. Is HP still popular these days? I'd have thought interest might have died down by now. Maybe that's just because I never got into it myself, but not sure because if they made an action game based on Willow, I wouldn't care.

 

[Ivory Blood]

Hell yeah, about time!

Can I be an evil Ravenclaw student?

Seems so.

Hogwarts Legacy is an immersive, open-world action RPG set in the world first introduced in the Harry Potter books. Now you can take control of the action and be at the center of your own adventure in the wizarding world. Embark on a journey through familiar and new locations as you explore and discover fantastic beasts, customize your character and craft potions, master spell casting, upgrade talents, and become the wizard you want to be.

Experience Hogwarts in the 1800s. Your character is a student who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart. You have received a late acceptance to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and soon discover that you are no ordinary student: you possess an unusual ability to perceive and master Ancient Magic. Only you can decide if you will protect this secret for the good of all, or yield to the temptation of more sinister magic.

Discover the feeling of living at Hogwarts as you make allies, battle Dark wizards, and ultimately decide the fate of the wizarding world. Your legacy is what you make of it.

 

[JimmyRustler]

is this single player? Looked more an MMO.

 

[Rikkori]

This is what I mean, look at 1:25 as it's panning in - what's with that fps? :

 

[Esca]

I can't wait for this.

 

[Kayoba]

Seems so.

That's going to be awesome!

 

[PresetError]

I'm so fuckig hyped for this game. It's a dream come true.

 

[iorek21]

I'm so hyped for this

 

[MiguelItUp]

I wasn't expecting to see this at all! So excited. That leak from a year ago looked incredible! Happy to see it on PC, but just another reason to not rush and buy a PS5, lol.

 

[Saber]

I aways waited for a Hogshit experience, playing with the house of my choice. So I have very high hopes for this, let's see how it plays.

I just pray thi isn't disgusting piece of human shit like the phone game is. That thing should never existed.

 

[Arkam]

SOLD. They can just start taking my money now. This could have been the only thing shown today and I would still be ecstatic.

 

[turtlepowa]

Easily the star of the show. Looks incrdible.

 

[BaneIsPain]

I'll wait for more gameplay reveal but it seems promising.

 

[M1chl]

Most next-gen game. I kind of wish it's going to have agmeplay like Just Cause : D

 

[Arkam]

This is what I mean, look at 1:25 as it's panning in - what's with that fps? :

An unoptimized scene? Game doesn't come out til next year. Plenty of time to optimize and polish things like that. Overall looked fantastic.

 

[Freeman76]

Loved it, and love the fact in this thread not a single twat talking shit about Rowling, unlike on cuntera where almost every post was saying fuck terfs and rowling etc. Good on u GAF

 

[struggler_guts]

Is this canon? My gf loves Harry Potter and would love this if it is and you're goin to school with Dumbledore or some shit

 

[Rikkori]

An unoptimized scene? Game doesn't come out til next year. Plenty of time to optimize and polish things like that. Overall looked fantastic.

Ye, but why would they add that to the trailer? It's supposed to look impeccable. It's just bizzare. Same thing happened with resident evil. It's like they don't care.
