Sumo Nottingham and Red Kite Games are assisting in the development of Hogwarts Legacy

Sumo studios have helped on other games recently like Forza Horizon 5 and Mafia Definitive Edition.

I don't think we're allowed to make news threads for this game. Could be wrong.

 

[Hero Prinny]

Hopefully this game is good

 

[Dale Copper]

Sumo still help with other games after being bought out?

 

[vestan]

Sumo are everywhere, shout out to them

 

[SnazzyNaz]

That's a shame.

 

[cjelly]

'Excited'

 

[Patitoloco]

Not surprised, these kinds of studios are going to get more and more stuff in their hands as the AAA bubble continues to grow.

Which is good!

 

[Bobson Dugnutt]

I hope their respective social media/pr reps are prepared

 

[Ouroboros]

I hope this game is a financial dumpster fire.

 

[acruztic]

Might be the only game that gets me to buy PS5. Really excited for this.

 

[Sadnarav]

That's really disappointing to hear

 

[Mr.Deadshot]

I hope this game is a financial dumpster fire.

You already know it won't if it is remotely good.

I don't like Harry Potter, was too old when it came out. But this game looked excellent when it was revealed.

 

[Nairume]

That's disappointing

 

[Plinkerton]

Really sucks that more (presumably talented) developers are being wasted on this project. I really feel for them.

 

[Mesoian]

No surprises there. WB is going to throw everything they have at this one.

But yeah, it sucks that it's going to put another few million in Rowling's pocket.

Yeah, last I recall discussion on it was banned, or at least threads were. May have changed now though, dunno

I wonder how the heck 3 (more?) different studios work on a game without development slowing way down just due to how many people need to check things, I guess Ubisoft and COD do it all the time so must work out.

Be interesting to see what we see of this game today at The Game Awards, plus I wonder how the persistent rumors of WB Games being on sale has affected development.

Yes. That's what they do.

 

[Big Powder]

I'm very torn because Harry Potter is one of the only young adult franchises that I grew up with that I still enjoyed up until Rowling revealed herself as a worthless excuse of a human being, and this game in particular is a game that I've been dreaming of since the early 00s. What a shame. I'll play it if I'm able to get ahold of it for free or secondhand through something like Craigslist, but I definitely won't be buying it day one, and I feel I should avoid any media for it so that I don't get excited or tempted to go pick it up.

*sigh* Why'd Rowling have to turn out to be a huge piece of shit?
