Within the walls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry you'll learn spells in class, brew all potions, duel fellow classmates and uncover the castle's many secrets. You'll play as a magical late bloomer, who joins the school as a fifth year student. Hogwarts Legacy will allow players to step into the famous Wizarding Wizard as a new character, not featured in any of the books or movies. This fairly comprehensive video showcases tons of features from the game's expansive open-world to it's exhilarating combat system, and has got us pretty excited about playing Hogwarts Legacy later this year. The best way to get a sense of what Hogwarts Legacy gameplay will be like is via its 14 minute extended gameplay demo. There’s even a hint of who the game’s main villain might be, and they look just as fierce as He Who Must Not Be Named. It showcases the famous castle and the variety of ways you’ll be able to interact with the Wizarding World and its inhabitants (both human and beast). The first Hogwarts Legacy trailer offers a pretty fantastic look at the upcoming game. Sadly, if you buy Hogwarts Legacy on last-gen at launch, you might have to fork out again to play the native next-gen version at a later date.

Hogwarts Legacy pre orders have recently gone live and revealed that the game will have a $70 price tag on PS5/Xbox Series X, and it doesn't appear there will be any form of next-gen upgrade path.

It's not yet know if this will be a Cloud Version that can only be played via online streaming, or a full native port. In a surprising twist, a Nintendo Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy has just been confirmed via the Hogwarts Legacy website. Games, Hogwarts Legacy is not a PlayStation exclusive. While Sony appears to have some form of marketing agreement with publisher Warner Bros. The official Hogwarts Legacy website (opens in new tab) clearly lists the game’s release platforms as PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One and PC. This has lead to a lot of online speculation that the game will be PS5 exclusive, but this is not the case. To date Hogwarts Legacy has only been showcased at PlayStation events. Therefore it stands to reason that Hogwarts Legacy and its accompanying art book will also be available on the same date. This could be our strongest indication yet as to when Hogwarts Legacy will release as Warner Bros' other big game of the holiday season, Gotham Knights, also has an art book scheduled to release on October 25, the same day the superhero game launches. While a concrete release date continues to elude fans eager to know when they'll finally get their hands on Hogwarts Legacy, a user on Reddit (opens in new tab) recently spotted that the game's official art book is now scheduled to release on Decemaccording to Amazon U.K.
This would be a well-timed release as Harry Potter and the holidays have become fairly synonymous over the years.
This narrows down the game's release window quite significantly and we can safely presume that Hogwarts Legacy will likely release in November/December. During a recent PlayStation State of Play live stream dedicated exclusively to Hogwarts Legacy, it was announced that the game is scheduled for release sometime in Holiday 2022.
