Redditor Round_Vanilla_3931 provides fans with one of these noticings as they post a screenshot of one of the game’s shops or vendors, highlighting the game’s currency system, which looks like three types of currency, one bronze, one silver, and one gold.Harry Potterfans will immediately recognize this triad to most likely be Knuts, Sickles, and Galleons, the currency from theHarry Potterbooks and movies.Fans discoveringHogwarts Legacy’s gameplay detailsin preview information about the game is often welcome news, especially when those details are so nostalgic for the fanbase.
It isn’t clear if the Knuts, Sickles, and Galleons will be exactly the same as they were in theHarry Potterbooks and movies, as the commenters on the Reddit post point out. Originally, there were 17 Sickles in a Galleon and 29 Knuts in a Sickle, which would mean there were 493 Knuts in a Galleon – these could be considered absurd denominations and calculations to include in a video game, though. That being said,different types of video game currenciesare always an interesting topic, and gamers have been debating their value in different games and situations throughout the years.
Though not as far-fetched as some otherridiculous and surprising in-game currencies, having prime number denominations for currency inHogwarts Legacymay not be the best route for the developers to take. It could make more sense to change the way the currency is calculated, such as 10 Knuts to a Sickle and 10 Sickles to a Galleon.
In any case, it will be interesting to see what the future holds forHogwarts Legacy.Harry Potterfans can most likely look forward to counting their Knuts, Sickles, and Galleons whenHogwarts Legacyreleases later this year.
Hogwarts Legacyis scheduled to release in December 2022 on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
