Harry Potter-universumet är osannolikt djupt och som gjort för att tolkas i spel, men ändå har det inte funnits några lyckade eller riktigt framgångsrika titlar baserade på fenomenet. Hogwarts Legacy tycks vara på väg att bli det första stora Harry Potter-äventyret, men tidigare var det även ett onlinerollspel på väg från EA, vilket dock lades ner innan det var klart.
Detta avslöjas av EA:s tidigare director of product marketing EA, Kim Salzer, i en sändning med Twitch-streamaren The Real Brandolorian:
"A big one for me, because I was so personally involved in it, and it's such a huge IP that has lived on is an online massively multiplayer game for Harry Potter. We did all the research, we had the beta built out, it was a combination offline/online experience where we'd actually mail stuff to the kids, like prizes and ribbons and stuff like that. Thoroughly researched, very confident in the success of this. But it was killed, for lack of a better term, because EA was going through changes at that time and they just didn't know or believe enough that that IP would have a shelf-life longer than a year or two."
Var detta rätt beslut av EA, tycker du, eller kastade de bort något med enorm potential?
