Footage of an apparent Harry Potter RPG has surfaced and according to industry sources, as reported on by Eurogamer, the footage is real. All we know is the following:
Posted alongside the video was a press release-sounding description of the game which mentions a 19th century setting starring a fifth year student who joins Hogwarts as a late arrival. You’ll be able to curse (and possibly kill?) “dark wizards” and “goblins”, choose from eight character classes and either act good or evil.
We’re not sure how long this will remain up, but here is a mirror of the initial leaked footage that has since been taken down due to copyright claims:
Our Take
Well this is indeed interesting and the Harry Potter is not only beloved the world over, but would likely make an excellent setting for an RPG. We’re certainly intrigued and hope to see some sort of official announcement/footage in the near future.
