The Harry Potter franchise not only delivered the nostalgic EA games during the 2000s, but 2023’s Hogwarts Legacy from Avalanche Software was easily a modern success. Now, American developer Volition, the studio behind the Saints Row series, has revealed a Baldur’s Gate-styled Harry Potter game it was working on once upon a time that ultimately got shelved, and there’s secret footage to prove this endeavor is not just myth.
Hogwarts Legacy has been fulfilling Harry Potter fans’ dreams for two years now, and the title will be given a second wind on the Nintendo Switch 2 console when it releases on June 5, 2025. The magical title joins an eye-widening list of confirmed Nintendo Switch 2 games, including new releases, Nintendo exclusives, and third-party gems, and the catalog is so large the Room of Requirement would have trouble storing them all. Some of the most anticipated additions to the successor console include launch title Mario Kart World, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and FromSoftware’s new IP, The Duskbloods.
There are likely plenty more Harry Potter games looming on the horizon, but the direction they decide to take may put them in a tough spot.
