The former director said the Harry Potter MMO was “killed” by EA
in a Recent interview on TwitchActivision’s former vice president of global brand management and EA Kim Salzer’s product marketing director discussed a failed project. The game she participated in was never released: MMO Harry Potter.
“We did all the research,” Salzer said. “We built a beta version. It’s a combination of offline and online experiences, and we actually mail things to the kids, such as prizes and ribbons. [It was] After in-depth research, I am very confident of this success. But it was stifled because there was no better term, because EA was going through some changes at the time, they just didn’t know or didn’t believe that the shelf life of the IP would exceed one or two years. “
According to Linkedin, Salzer served as EA’s product marketing director from 2000 to 2003, which was the period when the first two movies were released and Porter’s frenzy took off. In retrospect, it seems naive to think that Harry Potter, a cultural force that still dominates today, will disappear in “a year or two.” Or maybe this is just wishful thinking.
Hogwarts Legacy is an open world RPG set in the late 1800s. It is currently being developed by Avalanche Software and is scheduled to be released in 2022. By JK Rowling. For games you can play now, a better choice is the Witchcraft and Wizardry Minecraft mod, which is a complete RPG built into Minecraft that allows you to learn magic and explore Hogwarts.
