The developers of Hogwarts Legacy have done their best to shake off her influence, but in the end Hogwarts Legacy is also part of Rowling's legacy. The short answer is yes, she will undoubtedly make money off the game.
The excitement for the game has dulled over the years, and there were questions circulating about whether Rowling herself will profit from the game or not.
Rowling tweeted an essay on her anti-transgender thoughts in 2019, though the Hogwarts Legacy game has been in development since as early as 2017. Rowling, has become infamous for her transgender-exclusionary radical feminism, and has lost many fans through her support of anti-transgender individuals and organizations. However, the fact it is called Hogwarts Legacyis ironic given the current state of Harry Potter's legacy. ‘We see that as probably a much bigger install base and a fanbase that, as relates to the franchise of Harry Potter, which obviously appeals to a very big audience globally, and in markets like Japan where Nintendo has a big footprint and Harry Potter skews very strongly in terms of popularity, we see a much bigger upside probably from that release, certainly than the Gen 8 ,’ he says.Hogwarts Legacyis likely to come out in 2022, and has been the dream game of many Harry Potter fans thanks to its open-world setting, RPG choices, true-to-the-book locations, and customizable characters. In fact, JB Perrette, CEO of global streaming and games, says they actually have much higher expectations for the Switch version, especially in the Japanese market.
Discovery CEO David Zaslav, in an earnings call transcribed by VGC, also reminds everyone that the game is now available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, meaning those sales figures are only going to keep growing.įor anyone worried that its eventual Nintendo Switch port will meet the same fate as Midnight Suns’ and be cancelled, Zaslav assured everyone that it’s still on track for July 25. For the curious, the other four are Mortal Kombat, DC Comics, the Lego games, and Game Of Thrones.
