“This is an incredible moment that we’ve been building towards for a long time. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on,” PlayStation noted in a statement.
What is Hogwarts Legacy about?
Hogwarts Legacy is an action video game set in the late 19th century, that takes the user through the treachery and exhilarating adventure of the Wizarding World.
At this juncture, it is unknown if the characters in the game will have any links to the movie’s cast, i.e. Harry Potter. All we know, at this stage, is players will be able to create their characters, choose their Hogwarts House, attend classes and explore the open world which includes landmarks such as the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade Village.
More features will be announced on Thursday but already, we can guess that part of the gameplay may include:
- learning to cast various magic spells;
- brewing potions;
- taming magical beasts;
- mastering combat abilities;
- playing in Quidditch tournaments;
- customising a character’s voice; and
- selecting between witch, wizards and, perhaps, Muggles.
Release dates and other compatibility details should be unveiled on Thursday’s State of Play event.
Here is the game’s trailer, which has garnered more than 28 million views since it was first released in September 2020:
