A one-minute footage from a reported Harry Potter open world RPG has leaked on the Internet, possibly hinting at the existence of a brand new game set in the universe of J. K. Rowling’s wizard.

As the footage popped up online, followed by a pretty believable description, it was believed it had something to do with Rocksteady, since the developer is part of the Warner Bros. family which has the rights to the Harry Potter franchise.

Anyway, should this footage be confirmed as legit (which is totally not a given now), it doesn’t look very Rocksteady nor this is in line with the rumors of the British studio being involved in a Justice League GaaS.

So, there’s a possibility that the developer involved could be Avalanche Software, one of the teams behind Disney Infinity, which is partnering with Warner Bros. and has been hiring for a while for an open world RPG.

Here’s the description of the game as reported by Press-Start.com.au:
