Volition once wanted to develop the "Bader's Gate" style "Harry Potter" RPG

Although The Legacy of Hogwarts is amazing with its interpretation of the Harry Potter universe, the creators of The Underworld Saints tried to create a subversive work years ago, even before the first Harry Potter movie was released.This project, which has never been disclosed, was not until recently disclosed to GamesRadar+ in the exhibition tour of the "Strang National Game Museum" in Rochester, New York.

According to Andrew Borman, the museum's digital conservation director, the Volition team hopes to develop games based on this magical world after reading the original novel "Harry Potter".At that time, Chris Columbus had not directed the first Harry Potter film, and the team had no visual reference material available at all.

Although the specific time is controversial, it can be confirmed that it was before 2001 (the same year EA launched its first movie adaptation game).Borman describes the never-before-released demo: "As far as I know, these materials have never been made public. The content is basically about Harry and Hagrid, who are in the PS1 era, walking in an empty and unfinished town."

The game adopts a downward perspective similar to "Bad Gate" and an art style of "Summoner". Interestingly, this version of Hagrid's modeling is even more refined than in the EA game.Demo supports role switching, but the completion level is extremely low."They spent about a few weeks making it, obviously only doing enough to demonstrate to the copyright owner, but somehow the project ran aground."

With the commercial failure of "The Saints of the Underworld" reboot, Volition Studio finally closed, and this premature magical adventure concept finally became a little-known footnote in the history of the game.
