This Hogwarts Legacy-style management sim lets you build the magical school of your dreams, and it's out on consoles next year.
Spellcaster University is similar to Hogwarts Legacy in the fact it's set in a school where wizards and witches study. The only difference is, this time around you'll take on the role of director instead of one of the university's students. Just like other management sims such as Two Point Hospital, players will get the chance to build the school exactly how they want to and run the day-to-day operations of it.
This includes things like managing its budget, recruiting teachers, and expanding the school how you see fit. Players who want to embrace the darker side of magic (like our very own features writer Jasmine Gould-Wilson did in Hogwarts Legacy) will also have the choice to turn the school into a black magic academy, hiring teachers that specialize in things like necromancy and demonology.
More specifically, players will get to build their universities using an "original magic decks mechanism" meaning each game will be unique. The way it works is that players will have access to different decks according to the magic taught in the school, for instance, the Nature Deck will give you access to magical beasts, the Alchemy Deck will boost the production of potions, the Shadow Deck will give players a place to "discipline" the naughty students, and so on.
If you head on over to Spellcaster University's Steam page, you'll notice that this title actually released back in 2021. However, in early 2024, the magical management sim will be heading to consoles - including PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. A physical edition is also on the way, as well as a deluxe edition, but this is limited to just 300 copies per platform, so better act fast if you want to get your hands on one.
Need something to play in the meantime? Check out Let's School , another school management sim from the developer of My Time at Sandrock.

Hogwarts Legacy and Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon have swapped positions with one another to hand the Harry Potter simulator a top spot in the latest UK physical sales charts, while FromSoftware's mech game slips to fifth. The only new entry this week is at least an interesting one: the Premium Edition Upgrade for Starfield. This is a code in a box that grants five days of early access to the Bethesda RPG as well as the first story expansion, and it managed to rank seventh last week.
In the world of mobile gaming, a perfect controller can be hard to come by. Even with our personal favourite, the Backbone One, it can feel like you need to make compromises on comfort and accuracy, particularly if you have larger hands or want to take part in longer sessions. You can always connect a regular gamepad via Bluetooth, but if you don't have a good way to set your phone up as a display or there are connection issues, this isn't a perfect fit either.

Hogwarts Legacy was quickly an anticipated video game upon its announcement. Fans couldn’t wait to start up their own magical journey. However, when the game was released, we knew there were no DLC plans. What we got would be the entire experience. So, if you were waiting for this game to finally launch and played through everything the game had to offer, you might be disappointed that there’s no clear successor or DLC in the works. That is, of course, until Avalanche Software reveals they are bringing out a sequel. Fortunately, as popular as the game was upon its release, we would be surprised if Hogwarts Legacy ended up being a one-off.

For many years Windows users have been struggling with Notepad's lengthy file saving process. Where other note-keeping apps such as Google Docs allow users to save their notes automatically, Microsoft Notepad users need to save each document manually. It is a painful process and many have suffered the consequences of not 'saving' their file on time, or closing the tab without saving, and ended up losing all the data. However, now the problem has been solved as the automatic file-saving feature in Windows 11 Notepad is on its way. Additionally, the cherry on top is the Snipping tool gets a new combined capture bar that allows easy screenshots and screen recording.
Hogwarts Legacy lovers, keep your eyes open as it is now being reported that a sequel is in development, which will take the franchise to new heights.

Hogwarts Legacy was a massively anticipated video game. It had fans from all ages eager to dive into this wonderfully crafted world by the folks over at Avalanche Software. Fortunately, upon release, it seemed to have done quite well with critics and fans alike. Players were diving into a thrilling journey set well before the events of the Harry Potter series. While most of us might have shelved the game by now, there’s a new video set to arrive later this year that might have you persuaded to give this campaign another go.
