Famous stick-wielding orphan Harry Potter has earned himself one other full-fledged RPG, this time courtesy of Minecraft modding staff The Floo Network. Building on an impressively detailed Hogwarts map from 5 years in the past, the staff have since stuffed it with spells, adventures and secrets and techniques. You go to classes, full quests, and discover intensive recreations of Potterland, together with Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, and Westminster. The trailer briefly made me really feel that Potter-triggered tingle I bear in mind from childhood so it have to be doing one thing proper.
You don’t play Harry Potter, only a regular schoolkid attempting to get by way of their first wizarding semester. There’s “no overarching plot to do with He Who Must Not Be Named, or anything like that”. That’s effective. I glimpsed some sliding block puzzles that remind me of EA’s official Harry Potter games from the early 2000s, which isn’t precisely excessive reward however scores factors for nostalgia, probably the most magical of all feelings.
You additionally get to argue about mudbloods with a terrifying Draco Malfoy, who I noticed on this longer have a look at the mod that the staff posted in August.
You’ll be capable of play with as much as three buddies, and gained’t must obtain another mods to make it work. Floo Network say they’re attempting to get this out earlier than the tip of the month.
The staff have already launched an older model of the map, sans quests and story bits. If you simply need to potter round Potterland, you may pay what you want to download it here.
