Did anyone see the leaked video of the potentially upcoming Harry Potter RPG game? It's been taken down by Warner Bros on Youtube by now, but I found this mirror in case you haven't seen it yet:
https://my.mixtape.moe/scyeev.mp4The graphics look stunning, even from this crappy camera quality, and the combat actually looks decent! Considering this game hasn't even been announced yet, a lot you can see in this video is likely not how it will look like in the finished project. One thing I noticed for example is the rather gory death of a creature at some point (it gets impaled through the chest). This is a lot more than most Harry Potter games have done in the past. Hoping it gets a 12+ rating at least so it won't be a kiddy game.
Here's the description:

I like this approach! Set a game in its own time so you won't interfere with any of the existing characters (other than Nicolas Flamel maybe
) and be a completely unknown character in this world. The history of the wizarding world is really interesting and I'm looking forward to ever seeing this game released.
What are your thoughts? I know there must be other HP fans on here
