Hogwarts Legacy is among the most anticipated games of 2023, but lately there have been discussions related to the positions of J.K. Rowling about transgender people. Despite the creator of Harry Potter was not involved in the development of the game, her figure had indirect consequences.
Since it is precisely a production connected to the Wizarding World born out of Rowling’s imagination, ResetERA has banned every Hogwarts Legacy post from its pages, while actor Sebastian Croft has been criticized for his involvement in Hogwarts Legacy, only to later defend himself against more negative comments on Twitter. She also intervened on the matter Avalanche Softwarethe software house behind the development of Hogwarts Legacy, through the words of the director Alan Tew:
“I think it’s been a challenge for us to make every game we’ve worked on, and Hogwarts Legacy has been no exception. When we’ve faced these challenges, we’ve focused on the things we really care about. We know how much our fans love the Wizarding World, and we believe they love it for all the right reasons.We know that there is a very diverse audience: for us the most important thing was to make sure that all audiences, who have always dreamed of this game, had the opportunity to feel welcome, that everyone here has a home and it’s a good place to tell their story.”
Tew does not directly quote Rowling and the issues involving her, but at the microphones of IGN.com stressed as the development team made Hogwarts Legacy for everyonewithout exception. All that remains is to wait for next February 10, the day in which the awaited Action/RPG will land on PC, PlayStation 5 e Xbox Series X/S.
