Hogwarts Legacy, a game in the wizarding world of Harry Potter, will not be completed this year, the developers have confirmed. Just a few days after we ranked the magical RPG Hogwarts Legacy among the ten most anticipated games of 2021, we had a cold shower. The creators of the game thanked the fans for accepting the announcement but said that they want to deliver a quality product that needs more time. In translation, the game has been moved to 2022. Truth be told, we didn't even have a precise release date before, and we don't have one now either. We only know that this project has been under construction for more than four years, which is atypically long. Given that the game has been announced for the old PS4 and XBO consoles, at least now we can say that new games will be released for these platforms in 2022.

Streaming platform StreamElements and data and analytics platform Arsenal.gg have released their 2020 State of the Stream report, which highlights the most popular games and streamers for the last month of the previous year, as well as taking a look at the year as a whole. Judging by hours watched, one new game in 2020 that courted fans on Twitch has been a smashing success. In April, Riot Games tied Valorant beta access to Twitch viewership. That initial seeding might have helped the game become a huge success among viewers, racking up 737 million hours viewed throughout the year, the report said. That number easily dwarfed the #2 most popular new IP on Twitch for 2020, Mediatonic’s Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, which managed just 139 million hours viewed. Genshin Impact (#5, 59 million), Hyper Scape (#7, 18 million), Rogue Company (#9, 17 million), and Eternal Return: Black Survival (#10, 16 million) were the other F2P games that made the top 10. Valorant came in at #5 on the overall list — technically #4 if you don’t count the most popular, but non-gaming, channel “Just Chatting.” League of Legends (#2, 1.4 billion) and Fortnite (#3, 904 million) were ahead of it, while Counter-Strike: Global Warfare (#7, 635 million) and Dota 2 (#8, 464 million) trailed behind. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare also made the list at #6, partially aided by the free-to-play Warzone battle royale mode. Another big takeaway from the report is simply the notable spike in viewership hours across all platforms — well, except Mixer — starting in April. All three of the services profiled in the report — Twitch, Facebook, and DLive — saw increases of 50-75% after lockdowns started occurring in much of the world in late March and early April. (Don’t be fooled by the seemingly larger spike on Twitch’s graph; the Y-axis bottoms out at 900 million, as opposed to zero on the other two charts.) Maybe you want to read about The Last of Us Part II picked up the most critics and audience awards in 2020.
According to the statistics of the site that counts the prizes awarded for games, in 2020 no one was even close to the number of collected prizes won by the game The Last of Us Part II. GameAwards.net (which has nothing to do with The Game Awards ceremony) diligently keeps track of the awards for the best video games each year. They include hundreds of media and awards given by the audience, including two Croatian gaming portals, including our HCL. They have done their task of collecting data for 2020 as well, and the statistics are interesting. By far the most awards for the best game of the year were collected by The Last of Us Part II - as many as 210, which is the highest in the last five years. The last time he won several awards was The Witcher 3, back in 2015. Out of a total of 210 awards, The Last of Us Part II was named Game of the Year in 145 different publications, and 65 times the award was given to him by the audience. provided by the HCL audience). The dominance of this game in the number of prizes is clearly shown by the fact that all other games (about 20 of them) collected so many prizes, neither from the media nor from the audience. However, for now, TLOU2 has collected a smaller number of awards than its predecessor, which in 2013 was the first with 249 awards won. The second place in the number of awards for the game of the year is held by Hades with a total of 47 awards (only 3 audience awards), and the third is Ghost of Tsushima with 37. Among the games that were declared the best by critics and the audience did not award them with any award Eternal and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Among the games that were named best in 2020 is one you’ve probably never heard of - Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, which was named Game of the Year by an Australian publication.

We got another trailer for the PS VR version of Hitman 3 that promises different actions from a different perspective. The Hitman series was playable in the first person at one point, but never in virtual reality. That will change with the arrival of the Hitman 3, which will support VR mode on PlayStation VR, and now another trailer has been launched that tries to evoke the uniqueness of that performance. The developers of IO Interactive promise a VR experience of Hitman without compromise, which means that the player will be placed in a sandbox environment and will be able to move freely through the levels from all three Hitman games. But unlike standard Hitman moves, VR will be able to use a few specific tricks. My favorite is patting the guard on the shoulder to turn around. There’s potential for an infinitely funny loop there. It's just a pity that the PS5 console will have to play the PS4 version of the game in order for this VR mode to be experienced at all. And it's a shame I don't have PS VR anymore - this would be worth a try with even the most blurry graphics in the world.

The creators of the series The Elder Scrolls have released a puzzle for the new year that may point to the setting of the next game. A few more years separate us from the appearance of the new game from the series The Elder Scrolls and it seems that Bethesda desperately wants us to spend that time figuring out where TES VI should take place. The first theory was a region called Hammerfell, which could be visited in the first two games. However, High Rock is also in play, and there are a variety of other theories that the game could stretch all over Tamriel or into some whole new world. The Bethesda team once again led fans to the detective work for the beginning of 2021 by publishing a picture of a map of Skyrim and a fragment of Hammerfell, with the message: "write down the past and map the future". The position of the candles in the picture could also be an indicator of * something * - but who knows. After all, this was posted on Twitter for the entire Elder Scrolls, so it’s possible that the aforementioned future may not be related to Elder Scrolls 6 but to Elder Scrolls Online which is still getting expansions. After all, there are rumors these days that Netflix is interested in the series based on the Elder Scrolls template, so that may be the "future". The series according to Fallout is already under construction and it would not be surprising if we are soon greeted by the news of another adaptation.
