Earlier today, a new YouTube video was making some buzz as it showed footage of an unannounced Harry Potter game. While it has since been taken down from YouTube, you can still watch it via this mirror. The video appears to be pretty polished, showing off some of the game's features and could possibly have been prepared as an announcement trailer.

The leak came from Reddit user VapeThisBro who managed to capture the trailer while he took part in a focus group and further provided the following information regarding the game:

This is gonna be one cool game!! Wonder what systems its coming out for.

Well, it being Rocksteady, PS4, XBO and PC at least.

Ah, this makes me nostalgic for the old EA Harry Potter games. I have a particular fondness for Chamber of Secrets because when I started playing it, I didn't know that my PS2's memory card was full until I played for a few hours. I didn't turn off my PS2 for a week straight, and then the game soft-locked when Malfoy got stuck behind a pillar during a duel and it was impossible to progress. Great times. Anyway, if WB doesn't turn this into a gambling shitfest, I'll most likely check this out.

But will there be loot boxes?

So far Harry Potter games have been made by EA, so expect it.

This game is made by Avalanche Software (the makers of Disney Infinity)

I dunno if Harry Potter is the type of Series that suits a Open World RPG gameplay and this video didn't convince me yet.
The wands aren't allowed to be upgradeable to be consistent with the lore.
The spells need to Work as soon as they're learned and a grown wizard is probably equipped with most spells from the get go (assuming he visited hogwards).

Basically can't wait for collecting clothes that give +5 Flipendo Damage and +10 fire resistance or whatever damage types they're gonna be using.

It says he starts as a late entering 5th year student at Hogwarts so plenty of upgradeable things. Damage and aoe can be progressive. For example lumos and lumos Maxima.

Also I can't wait to see customizable patronus charms!

2007. The last book came out in 2007. Over a decade ago. Do we really need a Star Wars situation here?

Looks good...

 

[deinonychus71]

Is that by EA though? :/

This game looks really cool. I'd buy it just to wander around Hogwarts, to be honest. The setpieces look really well-put together.

I remember having that PS2 game. Think I was stuck in Diagon Alley for the longest time, and I don't believe I ever got further than the Whomping Willow, though.

Will you be able to watch your character getting strangled here too if you don't pay up them microtransactions?
What about them juicy lootboxes? "pay up to open a box and have a chance* to get yourself a cool wand or broom"
*of about less than 1%

 

[digipimp75]

You have my attention.

Honestly surprised to see people attacking game for in app purchases when we don't know if it will have them or how they will even work. While I too prefer none, if they handle it properly it doesn't have to effect actual game play and can basically be a shortcut for lazy people.

I'm not getting excited about this yet, but would also point out that Hogwarts A Mystery would suck even without in app purchases as it is a poorly made visual novel with lackluster design and gameplay. The in app purchases are hardly even the worst thing about it.

Remember: No Micro-transactions! If they'res micro-transactions in this game, it'll single-handedly kill what looks to be an AMAZING project!

 

[VinsCool]

Hopefully full of unclear lore!
I heard you may trigger events with an in game version of J.K. Rowling as well.

On a serious note, that would be a freaking amazing game!

 

[haxan]

omg yessss finally! Been looking at older HP games now for a while just because I missed the whole HP universe. I'm so excited for this game that I'm actually not going to "Jack Sparrow" this game and support the developers

Definitely XBO from the button scheme showed in the trailer (X,Y,RT) but really wish for PC and PS4. hopefully this game becomes a success that the developers would have enough money to invest into another HP game
