Whatever Happened To That Leaked Harry Potter Game Breh?

[MidniteJay]

WHAT? Can you show examples?

Most recent example was Scalebound. Schedule to release in 2016 delayed to 2017 and then cancelled when Platinum Games couldn't take Microsoft's strong arming or something like that

Don't give a fukk about Harry Potter and this leak looked lit to me.

Probably got shelved the rumor at the time was it got “leaked” because the developers were trying to show demand

They have to show demand for a Harry Potter game? Whoever that publisher is needs to be slapped. A game like that would fly off shelves. Especially if they time the release properly and don’t drop it the same day as say, a GTA 6 or some shyt.

Executives never know the creative potential of things. They just know how much money an ip is expected to make.
They probably shelved it after that fantastic beasts movie didn’t do so well. Which is bs because a game would sell like gta but they don’t know or care.
They just know how much money they’ve sucked into it and decide if it’s worth any more

Doesn't help that J.K. Rowling has a strict control on the IP and gets a strong say in what story gets told in the HP world. I wouldn't be surprised if they pitched it to her and she was like "That's bollocks, mate..."
