But how involved is the author in the storytelling and world of Hogwarts Legacy?
Is JK Rowling Involved With Hogwarts Legacy?
In their FAQ, Warner Bros Games has disclosed that although they will use the world JK Rowling built as a foundation, she will not be directly involved with the creation of Hogwarts Legacy.
This is something many fans of the series have been keeping an eye on. Following a recent stream of controversies fan support for JK Rowling has been on a steady decline.
Although based on a world built by her, Hogwarts Legacy will be a completely original story. The story will be written and told by the talented team over at Portkey Games.
Their FAQ explains that JK Rowling will not write these stories, nor will they be adaptations of the books.
Although they state that JK Rowling has entrusted the design and creation of the games to WB Games and Portkey Games. So even though JK Rowling is not involved, she will still receive profits from the game’s sales.
It will be interesting to see what other details Portkey Games reveals at the State of Play tomorrow.
Players worried about Hogwarts Legacy being a PlayStation exclusive can breathe a sigh of relief. Hogwarts Legacy will be available for other platforms.
