Leaked Harry Potter RPG: 10 Details You Need To Know
2. Duelling
A quick scene in the trailer shows our created character duelling against another student, which hopefully indicates that it's a proper game mechanic.
Duelling appears to be very similar to the combat scenes that we see earlier in the leaked footage, but this seems a lot more focused as its just one opponent.
Previous Harry Potter games have also included duelling, but it wasn't nearly as free form as in this leaked footage, usually taking place in an enclosed area and usually only being allowed when in a duelling club of some sort.
The press release for the game mentions that we can create our own friends and enemies, which could be what this duelling mechanic is related to. Imagine having a character you dislike as much as Harry does Malfoy and slowly building that dislike up to a duel.
Some of the best scenes in the Harry Potter films have been from wizard duels, so let's hope we see a lot more of this in the full release.
