Nearly two years ago, we reported that a Harry Potter MMO was in the works. According to a new report from Bio-hazard Entertainment, Wizarding World Online will indeed become a reality. A team of over thirty has been working on the earliest systems to get things lined up to meet today's start of a Kickstarter initiative.
Bio-Hazard's modest goal for the initial round of funding is $100,000 and will get things underway.
Wizarding World Online takes players to Hogwarts between the first and second Wizarding Wars with iconic locations included from the J.K. Rowling novels. The story is set when Harry Potter is only two years old and will be expanded through the questing system. In addition, player factions will face off in PvP Quidditch matches.
