Simon Pegg Is Heading Back To School As Hogwarts Legacy's Headmaster

Oh man, Hogwarts legacy is the game I keep forgetting exists and when I see a news article for it I get pretty dang excited all over again.

Cannot wait for this to come out and hoping it is a great time. Weirdly enough my favorite Harry Potter game is still the first one on the PS1. Really love the pre-film art style of Mary GrandPré.

Haven’t cared about Harry Potter since I was a kid and even then I fell off around Order of the Phoenix but I always had a soft spot for the Philosopher’s Stone/Chamber of Secrets games on PS1/GameCube and GBA. If this turns out well I’ll probably give it a go!

it will be a great game on either the ps5 and xbox x the switch i doubt it due to technical issues

I certainly don't hate the casting!

I mean before this news I was probably gonna skip the game, but now It's a must buy.

Honestly, my interest in this begins and ends with fascination that it's coming to the Switch at all. Can't wait to see that gameplay footage.

Looking forward to this on ps5, but I'm also very curious how the Switch version will run.

If it takes off and does well we could get more games with wizards and wands instead of soldiers and guns.

Cannot wait! Super pumped!

I hope this runs well enough on Switch and not a cloud version.

can't wait for this as love the Harry Potter world ❤️

Yeah defnately gonna wait on how this runs on the switch. No gameplay at all so far is usually a bad sign.

Not much into the Wizarding World / Harry Potter franchise anymore, but this is looking good. Here's hoping that those who get the game have fun.

It's incredibly worrying that we haven't seen switch footage yet, i'm not gonna get it on switch but i'm worried for people who want the game and their only option is the switch

If the reviews are good, I'll probably be picking this one up on PC. Curious to see what the Switch version looks like, though.

I just want everyone to know that when this game comes out I will immediately place the cartridge/disc/whatever on the floor and suck it up into a vacuum.

Take that, establishment!!

@KalosFanboy Presumably not since retailers are taking orders for it on Switch and it’s been delayed too- it would take minimal effort to get a cloud version running for launch, no need to delay it.

It’s also presumably going to be the worst way to play it but who knows, it could turn out great

I won't be buying the game, for these reasons.

One of my favorite comedy actor, hope the game will be good sure looks awesome on next gen console, I will probably get it on Xbox .

I really need to rewatch the movies because I only made it through most of them and just stopped for whatever reason. If I remember correctly I did enjoy them at the time. I was just telling the lady last night we need to watch them all so we can have a better appreciation for the Harry Potter area at Universal Hollywood since we're pass holders. The land is dope but I'm sure I'll enjoy it more once I get to know better what I'm looking at.

Maybe after we do that I will be more inclined to give this game another look.

I lost some respect for Simon Pegg.

More Simon Pegg is a huge plus! Can't wait to play this one.

I hope we can get a Nick Frost cameo alongside Simon Pegg's character. Maybe have Frost play an assistant to Pegg's character and they constantly bicker with each other.

@johnedwin
I really wonder how the hell the Switch version is gonna look. Hey, if it's somewhat passable I'll probably even get it.

Pegg needs money that badly? I won't be buying the game for those reasons.

This game looks great but that cast list looks like pure fanservice putting popular characters and ancestors of popular characters in.

I’ll be buying this game….multiple copies. #1 on Steam…

Definitely buying this game. I can set the works and lore aside from the real world issues. But I’ll be waiting for this game to go on sale and definitely waiting for Switch gameplay footage to be shown before I make my purchasing decision. Otherwise if the Switch version is unplayable then I’ll get it on PS4 because it’s still impossible to get a PS5. Really hoping the extra time for a switch means that game is LA Noire/Witcher 3 level of playable at least.

@Olliemar28 Severely underappreciated game and spell. Happy to know it wasn't just me.

This definitely brings the quality of this game up a Pegg.

Every time I still see NintendoLife covering this game it saddens me. I shall not be buying this game as the profits of it go towards supporting one of the most vocal transphobes on the internet, who uses her platform to directly lobby for policies which cause harm towards trans folks.
It's disappointing to see a site that has, in the past, championed LGBT issues to promote this game as it does.
Also surprises me that Simon Pegg would want to put his name to this.

...Still no Switch footage, at all...WHY? Just show it already, so we can either stop saying the Switch isn't good enough or see that it's actually terrible on the system or whatever. lol

I won't be getting this at launch just because I expect it to need some patches to smooth things out.

@Untempered-Link Those comments have no relevancy here. NintendoLife has clearly asked everyone to talk only about the content of the actual game and not about what else is going on. NintendoLife is covering this game as it is new and also because it does not contain any controversial content within the game itself.

Cool, been a fan of his ever since Shaun of the Dead came out. Still have my doubts about this on the Switch though and even if it manages to run well, the sacrifices to the visuals might be too much for me. As a big HP fan I'm more interested in exploring the castle than anything else.

@PtM at least they're not releasing all version at the same time when they know the older gen versions might need some more refinements. I think everyone learned a bit after cyberpunk

The PS4 version releases on my birthday, so the timing is too good to pass up. Looking forward to it!

@Bass_X0 Did you even read NintendoLife's own initial comment that said people are welcome to say that?

"You're welcome to state that you won't be buying the game for these reasons, but otherwise remain on topic of the game itself."

@twadebarcelona Those reasons are external to the content of the game. People are free to criticise the game for content actually found within the game. Bringing in controversial Twitter drama to discuss here should not belong on NintendoLife.

@Bass_X0 Well put and agree.

On topic on the game I'll probably end up getting two copies for different systems else I'll never my wife off it so I can play it. She's a huge Potter fan and is properly excited for this. Does look like it'll be a blast although I think I won't get the switch version to be safe. Would be cool to play it handheld but seems a game more suited to a bigger screen and I rarely play the switch docked.

@Bass_X0 It's not controversial Twitter drama, but again, I will quote what NintendoLife put in the first comment:

"You're welcome to state that you won't be buying the game for these reasons, but otherwise remain on topic of the game itself."

@twadebarcelona people dumping Twitter trash all over our clean NintendoLife site just lowers the standards here. I’m here for the games not the trash talk unrelated to the game.

@Bass_X0 Again, this isn't "Twitter transh", this is a creator profiting off a product and amassing an army of hate and NintendoLife staff literally saying people are welcome to say that's the reason they aren't buying the game, then you saying that they shouldn't say that, despite the owners of the site allowing it. Their quote, which I will paste for you again says that people are allowed to say that that is the reason for them not buying the game. Learn how to read.

"You're welcome to state that you won't be buying the game for these reasons, but otherwise remain on topic of the game itself."

@twadebarcelona Still Twitter trash to me. I can only imagine the garbage fire the comments section will be when the game is released on Switch. And the phrases and arguments that will be used will have come from Twitter.

And the army of hate is coming from those who bully twitch streamers into not playing the game. That is the army of hate we good people must rise up against and strike down.
