E3 2021 Without Hogwarts Legacy, Claims Warner Bros

Warner Bros. has announced that Back 4 Blood will be the only game to be shown at this year's E3. Fans waiting for Hogwarts Legacy may be disappointed.

IN A NUTSHELL:
  1. Warner Bros. has confirmed that it will only show Back 4 Blood during its event at this year's E3;
  2. This means that during the event there will most likely not be any information about Hogwarts Legacy and other games from the WB catalogue that were announced for 2022.

The upcoming E3 2021 trade show will not give us the opportunity to see the current stage of work of Hogwarts Legacy, the highly-anticipated RPG set in the Harry Potter universe. As TechRadar found out, during its conference the publisher Warner Bros. will show only Back 4 Blood from Turtle Rock Studios, the team responsible for the Left 4 Dead series, among others. The official Twitter of the Summer Game Fest 2021 event (which will take place as part of the E3) also says that WB is only planning to show Back 4 Blood.

This means that in addition to the aforementioned Hogwarts Legacy most likely we will also not get information about games such as Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League or Gotham Knights, which are also scheduled for release in 2022.

The lack of any information about the game's status may be worrying for the fans. In early January, we learned that the launch of Hogwarts Legacy (which was originally supposed to be released this year) was delayed by at least 12 months. Then, the team at Avalanche Studios working on the game received another blow in the form of the departure of producer Troy Leavitt, who at one time stirred considerable controversy in the communty. Fans are hoping that the studio will finally break the bad streak and the next news about Hogwarts Legacy will be more positive. Unfortunately, we have to wait for them a little longer.

Hogwarts Legacy is to be available on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
