10 RPGs You Didn’t Know Were Coming In 2021

From Prophet of AI


The trailer shows a Hogwarts student fighting off one of check these guys out horrible monsters and it's already well known that there's plenty living in the grounds of the school. Any student taking a trip through the Forbidden Forest may be in for a big surpr


Pokémon , as per its nature, is already an open world game. The player is able to traverse across a certain Pokémon region and collect and battle Pokémon along the way. Each game follows a similar story, showing the popularity of the game ser


Diablo II: Resurrected certainly has the profile of a AAA release, but gamers who weren’t around for this premiere ARPG’s heyday may be tempted to pass it over in anticipation of Diablo 4 — needless to say, they’d be missing out. Diablo II’s core gameplay elements will largely be intact, barring the graphical overhaul and a few QOL additions that are sure to please both veteran fans and newcom


Hagrid tried to be a good Care of Magical Creatures professor , introducing the students to Buckbeak. The beautiful hippogriff was angered by Draco's arrogance and was resultantly sentenced to death— until he was saved by Hermione and Ha


**** Characters can be different genders, races, and even enter varying school houses. This is an open-world game with RPG elements after all. The zoom in on the owl on the carriage might also indicate players can choose a pet. Maybe it will always be an owl though which would also be f


While there have been several Lord of the Rings video games, it would be incredible to play a game that allows the player to explore the vast world of Middle Earth, perhaps even in a different age to the Lord of the Rings ’ Third


Houses can be chosen. That much is for sure. What isn’t known yet is if this game will have a Mass Effect -like morality system. That said, the trailer might indicate that students could go an evil route. In the fight against the dragon breaking free, the bottom right corner shows a masked man aiding the player. Maybe the skull masks aren’t all evil, but this could point to students being able to go a different p


However, again, this is an online game that doesn’t quite fit the same open world design of Hogwarts Legacy . It would be great to see an open world game that allowed players to explore the Caribbean with a unique pirate story to experie


The Harry Potter franchise will be taking a big step with the debut of its first open-world console video game . Hogwarts Legacy certainly has a lot of potential, but one of the ways to really capture the imagination of fans and bring them into this fantasy setting is by giving them a great amount of control over their charac


There will be some kind of narrative trickery to make sure everything makes sense for Harry's time at Hogwarts, but at some stage, fans should be able to visit the Chamber and perhaps even fight a smaller version of the Basil


On the subject of the carriage, one might also be able to deduce that players will come into Hogwarts as the semester is already in session. This is similar to how the protagonist of the Persona games always enter their school years. Why? Well, first years always go by boat. After that, they can take these flying carriages starting from the second year all the way to the seventh. The player is also alone without other new kids joining them which backs up this late arrival the

It’s hard to see the first time but in the bottom right corner of the screen when the carriage is flying to Hogwarts, it says "Late 1800s." The stories involving Harry Potter take place in the 1990s whereas the Fantastic Beasts films take place in the 1920s. This means the team is giving themselves a lot of leeway to work with from the established lore. This will be less confusing for f


Even featuring the changing ceiling, the Great Hall looks like it has been recreated effectively in the game. The Staircases that lead on from the Great Hall will be the main way that players are able to travel, although they should beware that they sometimes m


It’s not every day that the survival horror genre perfectly mixes with an RPG, but Chernobylite seems to attempt this with its wildly engaging premise. Players take on the role of a man searching through the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and having to survive in this toxic area. As if that wasn’t enough, otherworldly threats have emerged on the scene, making surviving the environment, as radioactive as it is, an almost secondary conc


Except for the name, Hogwarts Legacy has been a known quantity since 2018. Some leaked footage came out before quickly getting scrubbed online. Since it was uploaded the first time this means it will never truly go away. Comparing its footage and this official reveal trailer is an article in and of its


Anyway, that aside let’s go through the many layers of this reveal to theorize what exactly fans will be doing in Hogwarts Legacy . As a brief note, this is not the first RPG adaptation. The second movie game, on the Game Boy Color , and the third movie game, on the Game Boy Advance , are turned-based RPGs reminiscent of Golden Sun. For those wanting a Harry Potter RPG experience to play in the meantime, track those d
