Hogwarts Legacy is an upcoming action role-playing video game set in the late 1800s in the Wizarding World being developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros.

What Is Hogwarts Legacy?

Interactive Entertainment under its Portkey Games label. The game will be released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in 2022.

It will be a new story in the Wizarding World, taking place decades before Harry Potter attended the school, and will be structured as a narrative adventure game similar to its predecessor.

Players will take on the role of a student of the school. They can choose to be one of five possible characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

The player’s choice of character will also determine which of the game’s three houses they’ll be sorted into: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw. The game is being developed by Avalanche Software, who also developed the previous video game in the series, Hogwarts Mystery.

The new game is set in the 19th century and will be a prequel to the Harry Potter series, focusing on the years before Harry Potter was born.

Unlike Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which is set in the present day, the video game will take place in the past, allowing players to immerse themselves in an entirely different era of the Wizarding World.

It will also be the first Potter game to allow players to create their own character, rather than play as Harry, Ron, or Hermione.

Hogwarts Legacy Gameplay

During Sony’s PlayStation 5 event, the company revealed our second look at Hogwarts Legacy. The first time we got a glimpse at the game was when it originally leaked back in 2018. If you haven’t seen the original trailer, it’s definitely worth watching below.

In this trailer, there are a few interesting details to look out for. We get to see what character creation will look like, allowing players to change things like their face, skin color, eye color and body type. We also see how brutal the game might be, with the player character bursting through a door and impaling enemies.

However, this trailer was likely never meant to be shown to the public because of character creation menu possesses text that reads “[Menu_Face]” and “[Menu_SkinColor].” This could mean it was merely an internal demo meant to prove the game was making strides in its development. As a result, it’s difficult to say what has and hasn’t changed.

Thankfully, we no longer have to speculate about the leaked trailer; a Hogwarts Legacy announcement presentation in mid-September showed off parts of the gameplay and setting.

The new trailer is surprisingly similar to the original one, providing us a more cinematic look into the world and what we can expect. It teases players with potion brewing, taming creatures, mastering obscure magic, playing quidditch and attending lectures from some of the most powerful witches and wizards around the world.

What are the Hogwarts Legacy Game Modes?

Game Modes:

  • Single Player mode –  In this mode, the player can be one of the four Hogwarts founders. The player will have to choose one of the houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, and then one of the founders: Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin. Then the player can customize their founder and go on quests.

The player can create their own character, choose their house and then customize their character and go on quests with their friends and other players.

  • Quests mode – This is the game mode where the player can go on quests with their friends.
