Part of that update is that the eSports Boxing Club release date has been pushed out further into the future. Prince gives his thoughts on this latest update in this video. It is not all bad news here because even though Early Access got pushed, it sounds more like we’ll eventually get a next-gen version of the game. Morbius release date delayed as Marvel considers Disney Plus release for Black Widow It’s a day ending with ‘y’, so you know what that means: more news of movie release delays.
Video game fans will have to evanesco the upcoming RPG Hogwarts Legacy from their most anticipated games of 2021 lists. Warner Bros. has delayed the Harry Potter game to next year, giving developers time to perfect the first open-world video game set in the Harry Potter universe.
Warner Bros. announced Wednesday that Hogwarts Legacy, the first-ever open-world action role-playing game set in the Wizarding World, will be launching in 2022 instead of 2021, as had been originally announced.
“We would like to thank fans from around the world on the tremendous reaction to the announcement of Hogwarts Legacy from our Portkey Games label. Creating the best possible experience for all of the Wizarding World and gaming fans is paramount to us so we are giving the game the time it needs,” the developer said in a tweet.

No specific release date was announced, but giving the game another year to be developed is good news for video game fans. As the world saw when CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 was rushed to release to disastrous results, more development time is always a good thing, especially if means the people making the game don’t have to endure harsh crunch.
Hogwarts Legacy was first revealed last year during a PlayStation 5 event, but it has been in the works for years, with plot details and even some footage leaking out during focus group sessions back in 2018. Developed by Avalanche Software (the team behind Disney Infinity), the game takes place during the 1800s, long before the events of the Harry Potter books and films.
While many may be tired of hearing about Harry Potter – and especially of hearing about its creator and her crummy opinions – Hogwarts Legacy is hoped to reinvigorate goodwill toward the franchise. J.K. Rowling is not involved in the project, which is solely overseen by Portkey Games, a new division created to oversee interactive Harry Potter experiences. The new time period that Hogwarts Legacy showcases, and will allow its players to explore, feels fresh and exciting enough to establish the “Wizarding World” as a cultural fantasy staple that can hopefully be divorced from its creator.
Here’s the official synopsis for the game:
Experience a new story set at Hogwarts in the 1800s. Your character is a student who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart. Make allies, battle Dark wizards and decide the fate of the wizarding world.
When Hogwarts Legacy finally does launch, it will be available on a wide range of platforms including PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.

No Time to Die has been delayed, as expected. The next James Bond movie has been pushed from April 2 to October 8, marking the third COVID-induced delay for Daniel Craig’s final 007 outing. Taking that as a cue, Sony Pictures has driven back its Cinderella adaptation from February 5 to July 16, hat in turn has pushed Tom Holland-led Uncharted from that July date to February 11, 2022. Ghostbusters: Afterlife, another Sony release, has jumped from June 11 to November 11.
Universal Pictures (Bond’s international distributor) has taken Bob Odenkirk-starrer action thriller Nobody from February 26 to April 2, earlier occupied by No Time to Die. And because of that, Universal has moved Tom Hanks-led sci-fi film Bios from April 16 to August 13. Lastly, Universal-owned Focus Features has delayed Edgar Wright’s next film, the psychological thriller Last Night in Soho, from April 23 to October 22.

Movie Releases Delayed
That’s a lot of release date changes. And you should expect more from Hollywood, given the US box office situation remains depressing with COVID-19 vaccinations proceeding very slowly for the most part. What’s curious though is that Sony Pictures hasn’t moved Morbius (again), that recently jumped from March 19 to October 8. With Bond movie No Time to Die now slated for that October date, don’t think Morbius will arrive in October.
With all these moves, the first quarter of 2021 is (predictably) rapidly emptying. Chaos Walking, the sci-fi film with Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley, is the only movie of note on March 5. Given the delays it has already faced, I’d expect Lionsgate to push that into the future — or possibly sell it to a streaming service. Kingsman prequel The King’s Man (March 12) is next on the cards, but it’s again a repeatedly-delayed film. There have been rumours about a Hulu premiere for the film as well.
That would bring us to A Quiet Place Part II, the sequel from returning director John Krasinski, which is poised to depart its April 23 release date any minute now. Next up is Black Widow on the cards, which is a big decision as Marvel must then reorder its entire MCU Phase Four slate that stretches into late 2022. Variety notes that there’s speculation that F9, the next Fast & Furious entry slated for May 28, will get delayed as well.
Nobody is now slated for April 2, followed by Cinderella on July 16, Bios on August 13, No Time to Die on October 8, Last Night in Soho on October 22, Ghostbusters: Afterlife on November 11, and Uncharted on February 11, 2022.
