Ex: Warner Bros. Interactive and TT Games are bringing the first 4 years of Harry Potter to fans of all things Hogwarts and Lego. The co-op romp boasts 170 playable characters (read that again for effect), and players will build the adventure all the way from Privet Drive to the TriWizard Tournament.
At this year's E3 conference, Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 is being shown off before it lands on home consoles and portable systems June 25th. In the meantime we got our hands on a cool montage of Lego Harry Potter footage, and some new screenshots.

Warner Bros. announced it's pivoting to live-service games, which could be a disastrous move for its devs
I don’t think there ever was a time for GaaS. Its entire resistance is revolved around making a game that generates recurring revenue constantly throughout its lifetime. It’s straight up a corporate scumbag design.
I watched the video seeing if anything changed since the initial Suicide gameplay vid before the delay and it looks the same. So weird watching all the characters just start a gun to their back and bounce super high shooting with no kick-back animation in an empty dead world. The voice acting is cringe and there doesn’t have any sense of atmosphere or immersion like the Arkham games.
And they expect you to pay $70 to $100 for this and then pay more for Battle Passes and items to make grinding less a chore. Yea, no thank you. I hope you learn a hard lesson with this one.
Today, during Warning Bros' conference call, chief executive officer David Zaslav talked about Mortal Kombat 1, Hogwarts Legacy, and the company's gaming business.
yea, because thats what people want, especially after those games sold millions and are not live service games haha.
so dumb haha.
Genius executives at work. "hey, what we're doing is working great. Let's change it."
"Invasions" is technically free live service game with new content every 45 days. It's the best mode MK has ever had IMO. As a single player gamer, it gives me a reason to stick around after the story mode.
New mk sold less then the last in the same time frame the NEW MK is legit a live service game with its horrible monopoly board. I just wanted a normal title...
It's not on older hardware, so that's why it seems less. No ps4/xbox one versions.
I doubt older hardware would make a difference, given the ratios of sales of other multi-gen games
Nah the new MK full of live service shit even the singleplayer monopoly board they gave use instead of a normal kyrpt says enough and sales reflect that also this MK is very combo heavy it not noob friendly what's so ever like others
Humble Bundle has a new bundle that packs a bunch of Lord of the Rings, LEGO Harry Potter, and other fantasy games.
I cant believe an IGN owned company would allow Harry Potter games to be sold!
Too many Lego based games.
170 playable characters? Are there even that many characters in the books/movies outside of random student #231?
AWESOME! I can't wait for HP to come out!
