Guys it won't be an MMO, lol

 

[Outtrigger888]

Wait don't they own another Company called Avalanche? The just cause team.

Guys it won't be an MMO, lol

I just want an RPG where I'm playing as my own character. My school house, my adventures. That's all I want.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Omg a new Harry Potter game would slay

 

[Jarmel]

How many years has it taken to get to this point?

 

[FelipeMGM]

I don't think Warner Bros is involved with Dr. Who though, right?

The Dr Who packs are really popular on LEGO Dimensions, its a possibility.

But my bets would be on Harry Potter too, it makes way more sense

 

[Apdiddy]

Please be the Harry Potter Persona-like RPG, please be the Harry Potter Persona like RPG....

 

[Flying Toaster]

Give me that Harry Potter MMO set in real time, with houses, quidditch and classes and the like. Every year counts as a school year. Let's go.

I never knew I wanted this until I read this. I need this.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Wait don't they own another Company called Avalanche? The just cause team.

No, this one beeing talked here is Avalanche SOFTWARE. The Just Cause and Mad Max teams are independent and are part of Avalanche STUDIOS

EDIT: Removing some info that may be misleading.

Warner does not own Avalanche Studios (the Just Cause guys).

 

[chrisPjelly]

Hoping for Chrono Trigger, but with Hagrid instead

 

[18-Volt]

I'm surprised that this hasn't happened yet. A Harry Potter Universe AAA RPG would be a multi ten million seller. WB is just leaving money on the table.

 

[DOWN]

If it's of the kind of quality that Spider Man PS4 is after then I'm all in

 

[LordKano]

This is easily the most random news I've ever seen. Disney Infinity developpers working on a Unreal Engine 4-powered AAA Harry Potter RPG ? Like, what the fuck.

 

[fastmower]

A Harry Potter persona like rpg could be the GOAT.

 

[Platy]

To be honest the emphasis on "Brittish culture" makes me think more of Dr Who than Harry Potter.

Interesting either way.

Me too, but I can't think of Doctor Who when I hear "AAA RPG"

There is something very wrong about an AAA doctor who game xD

 

[Punjicide]

An RPG set in the Harry Potter universe? I all about that.

A Harry Potter persona like rpg could be the GOAT.

That would be such a good fit. I hope they're taking notes from Persona 5.

 

[weekev]

Maybe it's a Downton Abbey RPG?

 

[Elfstruck]

Please be the Harry Potter Persona-like RPG, please be the Harry Potter Persona like RPG....

So much this!!!!!!

 

[Nudull]

Don't get my hopes up, GAF. ;_;

 

[Lifeline]

No MMO pls. I would take a open campus Harry Potter RPG. Persona style.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Save the Doctor Who IP for a Heavy Rain style adventure game

 

[Kordelle]

lol so cruel

 

[Pandora012]

I want this now. If not MMO, give me an RPG going through the years.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Please be the Harry Potter Persona-like RPG, please be the Harry Potter Persona like RPG....

A Harry Potter persona like rpg could be the GOAT.

I-I don't think I'd ever leave my home if that happened.

Although I do wonder if this is going to be set during, before or after the Harry Potter series.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

I always thought a HP games in the vein or Persona would be awesome. Social links with friends. Going to class. Sneaking out of school at night under invis cloak to 'enter the TV world' as such. End of year tests. Quidditch side quest.

As a side note. We're the Lego HP games any good?

They are amazing.

 

[Vinc]

Btw: fantastic work as always, Nirolak. This is a really cool find. I sure hope you're right! I've been daydreaming about AAA HP games for years.

 

[decoyplatypus]

There a lot of fun ways to handle the interaction between characters' innate abilities and affinities/training in the various magic disciplines.

 

[Glass Shark]

EDIT: I just realized this job listing says it's for mobile. May not be the same game. But the evidence still points to HP.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Maybe they bought the rights to The Getaway?

Nah probably Harry Potter.

 

[AlexFlame116]

EDIT: Boooooo...

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Regarding my previous post, here's the proof that it is indeed Harry Potter:

(That's from a WB Games recruiter on Twitter.)

Boom.gif

Thanks for sharing!

Edit: Saw your edit, hype slightly lessened haha

 

[EekumBokum]

Please. A Harry Potter RPG is an actual dream, I hope it's good. Rip off Persona as much as you want Avalanche.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Finally! The Harry Potter franchise deserves its own Arkham Asylum.

 

[Nirolak]

This is easily the most random news I've ever seen. Disney Infinity developpers working on a Unreal Engine 4-powered AAA Harry Potter RPG ? Like, what the fuck.

Would it help if I said Warner Bros recently bought Avalanche in a bid to expand, and mentioned they might be working on "core games"?

 

[Cartho]

Make a Western Persona game but set in Hogwarts.

Day fucking one.

 

[MrCunningham]

Oh, I thought this was about Avalanche Studios, the developers that made Just Cause and Mad Max. But I guess this is a different Avalanche. Neat, I guess. Even though I never had any interest in Harry Potter... and to be honest I have never seen a Harry Potter movie or have ever bothered to read the books.

 

[Darryl M R]

Custom character please.

 

[dezzy8]

I never knew that I wanted a Harry Potter RPG until now.

 

[SuperBanana]

Yes please.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Remember when Nintendo tried to buy the rights to Harry Potter?

I wonder what kind of game they would have made.

 

[ChemicalCutthroat]

I just want an RPG where I'm playing as my own character. My school house, my adventures. That's all I want.

Likewise, it would print money. I would be down.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Custom character please.

But you got the other cut. That popular cut styled with a sponge

 

[AlexFlame116]

Remember when Nintendo tried to buy the rights to Harry Potter?

I wonder what kind of game they would have made.

Mario and Harry Potter at the 2017 Summer Quidditch Games.

 

[brawly]

I hope we get seven years (even if it's split up in mulitple games) and hat sorting.

I need a HP Persona.

 

[Vinc]

Day fucking one.

........................Holy shit. Yeah. You're certainly onto something here.

I mean, it could only be loosely like Persona for it to have mass appeal, I think, but they could absolutely draw a ton of inspiration from it and still keep that same mass appeal.

 

[Steiner]

Give me that Harry Potter MMO set in real time, with houses, quidditch and classes and the like. Every year counts as a school year. Let's go.

Hollyyyy shit, yes.

 

[Voror]

I'd definitely be interested but hope it'd be a completely original story perhaps set at a different time period from the books.
