You'll be able to choose the Hogwarts house you're sorted into at the start of the game, and then play as a fifth-year student at Hogwarts, taking classes such as Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, and Potions. Game Director Alan Tew promised (opens in new tab) "the opportunities to experience hundreds of memorable moments, small and large, that fans grew up with and know by heart: from being Sorted in the Great Hall, exploring a new secret chamber in Hogwarts, or impersonating others with Polyjuice Potion to protecting innocents from a dangerous troll, dodging fireballs from a Hungarian Horntail, or soaring into the sky on the back of a friendly Hippogriff." This is an open-world RPG, which will let you explore Hogwarts and the surrounding areas - including Hogsmeade and the Forbidden Forst - either on foot, by broom, and perhaps even by Hippogriff. You can watch that above, and we'll break out the key beats below. We were treated to a 14-minute Hogwarts Legacy gameplay walkthrough as part of a special March PlayStation State of Play, which outlined many of the game's systems and mechanics. "Hogwarts Legacy is so special because it allows players to immerse themselves in a new narrative that is filled with complex characters and, of course, magic." Hogwarts Legacy gameplay features "It's such an honor to work on such an amazing franchise and the team is dedicated to delivering an authentic Wizarding World experience that both Harry Potter and RPG fans will enjoy," said John Blackburn, studio general manager of Avalanche.
There's a dangerous villain to be quashed in this brand new, totally untold story, which has been created by developers Portkey Games and Avalanche. So while Hogwarts Legacy isn't a direct adaptation of the books and films, it will be "anchored in Wizarding World lore" - aka you won't be seeing Harry, Ron, or Hermione in this adventure.Īlong with living the life of a Hogwarts student, you'll also "embark on a dangerous journey to uncover a hidden truth of the wizarding world", says Warner Bros. This is set in the late 1800s, so many decades before the world of Hogwarts that we know. You're capable of manipulating mysterious ancient magic and will need to help uncover why this forgotten magic has suddenly made a resurgence and the ones that are simultaneously trying to harness it. It turns out you're also someone who holds the key to an "ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart". Depending on how good the port is, we’d also reckon that it could sell a fair amount on Switch.The Hogwarts Legacy story will see you playing as a completely customizable character who's joining the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry late as a fifth-year student. This is a good thing no doubt as the Nintendo Switch has well over a hundred million hardware units out there, and we’d bet that many of them are Harry Potter fans on some level. Not the least of which is having NO microstransactions in the game, and the reveal that it won’t just come to the next-gen consoles for Xbox and PS5, but also the Nintendo Switch.
The game has been teased for quite some time now, but more recently we’ve gotten some new details. And now, Portkey Games is aiming to give you the most “authentic” Harry Potter-esque experience via Hogwarts Legacy.

Inspiring not just a book line, but a mainline movie series, a spinoff movie series (that is getting its 3rd movie soon), a play acting as the official/unofficial 8th “book” and of course, a slew of video games that helped take you into that world in one form or another. But then when it did happen it became one of the biggest things around. The Harry Potter universe is one that honestly almost didn’t happen.
