The creatures known as Inferi were also more largely featured, as if the Hogwarts students had summoned them through necromancy. Crucio is only one of three of the unforgivable curses, meaning that the Imperius and Killing Curses could potentially be featured in Hogwarts Legacy as well. The trailer showed the option to learn the Cruciatus Curse, which is a torture spell that causes excruciating pain upon its victim, who can also lose their sanity if they’ve been subjected to the curse for too long. Acknowledging that “ none of us will be able to avoid dark magic forever,” the newest Hogwarts Legacy trailer re-emphasized that players will be able to learn and use the Unforgivable Curses. The Gamescom trailer (also viewable on PlayStation's YouTube page) opened with the dialogue, “ The more we know about Salazar Slythrerin and the Dark Arts, the better prepared we’ll be.” This emphasis on dark magic is quite contrasting to previous trailers, hinting that Hogwarts Legacy may be much darker than it initially appeared.ĭespite the Hogwarts Legacy ASMR videos sharing magical sounds, it seems like the game is going to be able to go in quite a darker direction. There was a strong emphasis on the character figuring out where they want to stand in the history of the Wizarding World, similar to what characters went through in the Harry Potter novels. Though earlier footage featured brief encounters with darker elements, they had been set up to appear as the antagonists of the player’s heroic story, rather than features that could have been created or in alliance with the player. This student is the player's custom created character for Hogwarts Legacy. Set in the late 1800s, the game focuses on a Hogwarts student entering their fifth year of studies and holds the key to a powerful form of ancient magic.
