As already announced at Gamescom 2022, within Hogwartgs Legacy it will be possible to use the Unforgivable Curses, the symbol par excellence of the Dark Arts.
Alongside the recent previews dedicated to the game, the Lead Designer of Avalanche, Kelly Murphy, wanted to deepen this specific aspect of the Action RPG. “It was important for us to give players the ability to be a dark witch or wizard. – has explained – This is the ultimate incarnation of RPG: the ability to be evil. In addition, however, it was important that this freedom was offered without any judgment from the developers. Simply, if you want to be evil, be evil!“.
Starting from these premises, Avalanche has decided to do not insert a real moral system encoded within Hogwarts Legacy. However, it seems that using the Dark Arts will still come at a price for the protagonist. “The characters that will see the player use the Unforgivable Curses they will react both with gestures and with voice. […] And should the player persist in using the Dark Arts, the surrounding world will react Consequently“.
A rather cryptic statement, which seems to leave some aspects of this mechanism still shrouded in mystery. For now, however, we know that – of course – the Unforgivable Curses they will not be taught at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. To learn, the player will have to follow a different path. Once we learn the three sorceries, however, we won’t be forced to use them. Waiting to find out more, we remind you that on our pages you can find a rich proof of Hogwarts Legacy.
