Hey everyone,
Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In this video, we’re going to be discussing the new Hogwarts Legacy game that was announced on the Playstation YouTube channel last week. Now, since the game has been announced many fans have been asking themselves: What’s it all about? Is it canon? Are we going to see the characters that we grew up watching? The trailer, which boasts an impressive 10 million views in its first week, reveals very little about the game, other than that we will be a student attending Hogwarts in the ‘late 1800s’.
Late 1800s is a pretty broad time frame, and this terminology would generally be used to describe the time period between 1870 and 1899, which leaves 29 years of events that could potentially coincide with the new game. In this video, I’m going to be exploring some of the events of the wizarding world during the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s, and speculating on some of the events that we may see transpire, or hear about in the game.
Before we get started, let’s get one thing clear: Avalanche Software and Portkey Games, who are creating the game, have been very open about their dedication to keeping the game ‘authentic’ to the original franchise. What ‘authentic’ means, at least from my perspective, is that they’re going to preserve canon. Only time will be able to dictate whether they follow up with that statement or not, but I really hope they do.
Adrian Ropp, head of Story at Avalanche Software (who are bringing us the game alongside Portkey Games), had this to say:
“When the first book came out, I became an instant fan. This is a labor of love, and the real magic comes from the dedication and imagination of a team who wants nothing less than to make this an authentic and compelling Wizarding World game.”
This cements the fact that Portkey and Avalanche are taking their task very seriously- and will be attempting to approach the wizarding world from a NEW perspective while preserving the elements of the wizarding world that we’ve already been exposed to.
Without further ado, let’s get started and begin by taking a look at the events of the late 1800s- events that very well may coincide with the new game.
