For anyone out of the loop, there is an unannounced Harry Potter RPG in development at Avalanche Software. Footage leaked online last year (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z2OLYwXpxZkHCoSqkEXuUM-Emhzn5e2t/view?export=download), but for a while now, it has been all quiet. For a while, we weren't sure if the game had been cancelled or what.
A few weeks ago, Jason Schreier, in a DM on twitter, wrote that the game was still in development at Avalanche Software (https://i.redd.it/h1aiq025yhh41.png). The game is alive, yet the release date is still far off. Ok, but what about the announcement?
In the last day or two there have been a few developments. First, Avalanche Software put out a job listing for a "soon to be announced AAA title" (https://careers.warnermediagroup.com/TGnewUI/Search/home/HomeWithPreLoad?PageType=JobDetails&partnerid=391&siteid=36&jobid=850043&_ga=2.226357021.6862936.1583426694-1254743513.1583426694#jobDetails=850043_36).
Next, Shinboi602, a reputable leaker, jumped into a discussion about that job posting. A user commented that WB wasn't going to reveal two new titles in one year (new Arkham game and the Harry Potter RPG), and Shinboi602 asked "Are you sure?" (https://www.resetera.com/threads/avalanche-softwares-new-game-is-soon-to-be-announced-according-to-job-listings.173568/#post-29664043").
Finally, Jason Schreier himself jumped into the thread and joined in on teasing the reveal. A commenter again doubted that WB would reveal two games in one year, and Schreier wrote "If only there were a venue in which multiple games could be announced at the same time!" (https://www.resetera.com/threads/avalanche-softwares-new-game-is-soon-to-be-announced-according-to-job-listings.173568/post-29669563).
Nothing is confirmed until it's confirmed, but all indications is that the Harry Potter RPG is alive, and will be announced sometime this year with the new Arkham game.
I didn't discover any of this, just saw it on r/HarryPotterGame and wanted to share.
