Hogwarts Legacy Dev Responds To Controversy, But Doesn't Mention JKR
Hogwarts Legacy is one of 2023’s most-anticipated games. Fans have been waiting a while for it, and following multiple delays, it’s finally set for release on February 10. The game’s upcoming release has been overshadowed in part by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling’s comments about transgender issues. Game director Alan Tew responded to the concerns people have about the game given the backdrop and context surrounding its release.
Speaking to IGN, Tew said Hogwarts Legacy isn’t unlike other games that Avalanche Software developed previously, in that every game poses challenges to its developer. Tew said it was important to the developers that Hogwarts Legacy feels like the game Harry Potter fans might have dreamed of years ago, long before Rowling made any comments about sex and gender.
