Harry Potter game Hogwarts Legacy will reportedly let players choose trans characters. The role-playing game will enable players to customize their character’s gender placement in the wizarding school, as well as their body type and voice, says a Tuesday report from Bloomberg. 

Players can also choose how they’ll be addressed by other characters in the game, according to the report, which cites unnamed sources.

The step toward trans inclusivity comes after Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling came under fire last year for a series of tweets concerning trans issues. 

Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy is set to be released in 2022 for the PS5. The game is also coming to the Xbox Series X, PS4 and Xbox One.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
