The next Harry Potter game is taking a break from the cuddly wuddly spells and broomstick flying and changing format to a third person shooter in which Harry runs around with an Uzi taking bloody revenge on Hermione for being such a smart arse.
O.K. I made that up, but it is going to be a third person shooter, or more accurately a third person spellcaster. EA’s Bright Light studio in Guildford have created a new engine to allow Harry to attack Death Eaters, Snatchers (ooer missus), creatures from previous films or books and new creations.
“The final Harry Potter adventure has given us the opportunity to make a darker and more action-orientated game than we have before,” said head of production Jonathan Bunney.
“We have built new technology specifically to allow us to prove that magic is a truly potent force and, in this game, players will need to use all their skills if they want to survive.”
