Players of the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy game have recently been shocked when it was announced that the game had removed a key element from the game. The announcement was made on January 10, 2021, and immediately fans took to social media to voice their outrage at the decision.
Hogwarts Legacy is an action role-playing game that takes place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was announced in September of 2020 and it was set to contain a custom character creator. This would allow players to make their own character and customize them on various levels, such as eye color, facial structure and choice of Hogwarts house.
However, fans now find themselves disappointed and confused as the game developers have announced that they have removed the character creator feature from the game.
The game’s developer, Portkey Games, has yet to release an official statement as to why they have decided to remove the character creator. Many fans have speculated that it was because the developers received too much criticism for not allowing gender fluid character creation.
However, the official statement released by the game’s publisher, Warner Bros., explains that the decision was made to ensure that the game meets a “high level of quality” and that the development team have decided to focus on delivering “the best possible experience for all players”.
Fans have expressed their disappointment and frustration at the news, with many taking to social media to voice their outrage. Many have cited the fact that the character creator was a key feature of the game, and that its absence will affect the overall experience.
The hashtag #BringBackCharacterCreation has become popular on social media, with many fans calling on the developers to reconsider their decision, while others have taken a more extreme stance, threatening to boycott the game altogether if the character creation feature is not reinstated.
For now, the developers have stated that the decision to remove the character creation feature is final. However, it is still possible for fans to voice their opinion and get their views heard, as the development team has stated that they are open to feedback and ideas.
Regardless of the final outcome, the true impact of this decision won’t be known until Hogwarts Legacy is released later this year.
