Interactive Entertainment's Avalanche Software package, the Utah-centered studio at the rear of the Disney Infinity collection, is developing the Harry Potter match for multiple platforms, which include PlayStation 5 and Xbox Collection X, according to Bloomberg.
The game is scheduled to release for next-gen only in late 2021, meaning that the Harry Potter RPG will be coming to PS5. The site Bloomberg reveals today new details: two people who now work in this project confirm that the information is real.
The big-budget title will reportedly allow players to take control of a wizard Hogwarts to explore both the school and surrounding areas (likely Hogsmeade and the Forbidden Forest).
