Recently, a group of HP fans took to Reddit and outlined a few of their hopes and dreams for the game, including the hope that they can do actual homework as part of their in-game tasks – unusual, but then again, learning how to shoot flames out of a stick does sound much more fun than doing algebra.

In any case, we’ll have to wait just a bit longer for Hogwarts Legacy, which probably won’t have Harry Potter in it in case you’re wondering.

There’s still plenty of upcoming PC games to get excited about in 2022 though and some
