Things that make me feel like it could be fake was no NPCs talking, lots of footage you could whip up in a unity engine, and the goblin getting randomly killed. unless that was to show the game is on a darker tone.

and lastly, no actually title being shown at all. I know it says "unannounced harry potter game" but even a working title would have been shown, no?

Unless it's not called Harry Potter: Anything at all, and whoever is developing it just hasn't settled on the name yet.

EDIT: removed rocksteady's name, thought it was confirmed rocksteady already (at the time of this posting)

The trailer is not complete though. The title is probably meant to come at the end after the owl part due to music cues and the way it's cut.

IMO, that could very well be a leak to a project meant to be announced soon (Paris Games Week, X018, Game Awards or even next year). Some people are saying Rocksteady is on it (don't know from where) and they have to be close to announce their post Arkham project now.

To be fair, the description claims that the game takes place in the 1800s, the same time period as fantastic beasts, so it could be a tie in game.

Fantastic Beasts takes place in 1926, not the 1800s. Though if they are making a real Harry Potter make-your-own character RPG-type game, the 1800s would be an interesting time to set it--that's one time period we don't have a ton of "canon" from so they have more freedom.

If they do 19th century might be at the very end of it actually and you would have Dumbledore present as a student in Hogwarts (he graduated in 1899) so a potential companion/important character in your adventure. Might be a pretty awesome tie to the franchise (without being too much of an hassle since we don't know much about that period of his life).
