Hogwarts Legacy leaker who claimed the design director was their dad struck by Warner Bros copyright notice - Gamesradar

According to one of the subreddit's mods(opens in new tab), Warner Bros issued a takedown notice to Reddit's legal department, which took down the post in question.

None of the content revealed in either leak was particularly notable - there were no story spoilers and little mechanical discussion, with most players wanting to know about customisation and map exploration, and both users were wary of spoiling too much.

At this late stage before the game's release, marketing campaigns are fully locked in, and even if a QA worker really was related to a senior developer, an unofficial question and answer session on a fan forum wouldn't just be signed off by 'my dad who works at Avalanche'.

The leak, which was nixed at the same time as another thread by a user who claimed to have got their copy of the game early, is just the latest chapter in a bizarre pre-launch saga for Hogwarts Legacy.

While J.K. Rowling is not involved in the development of Hogwarts Legacy, GamesRadar+ does acknowledge the author's role in the creation of the Wizarding World, as well as her publicly stated, harmful views regarding the rights of transgender people.
