Hogwarts Legacy: Release & Platforms

When does Hogwarts Legacy? As a release window, the year 2022 is currently specified, a concrete date of publication is not yet known. Previously, the title was scheduled for 2021, but was postponed to the next year.

For which platforms, Hogwarts Legacy? The Potter-RPG not only comes for PS5, but also for the PS4, Xbox Series X / S, Xbox One and for the PC.

What is Hogwarts Legacy for a game?

Hogwarts Legacy is distributed by Warner Bros. and developed by Avalanche. We are expecting us Open World Action RPG , which is played completely in the singleplayer. There are neither multiplayer nor KOOP modes.

That's the first trailer to Hogwarts Legacy

What do we already know about the gameplay?

Character creation: Role play typically we make our own character before the beginning of the game, which we as a student or student send into the Hogwarts school for witchcraft and magic. As in the books and films, we first decide it with the help of the speaking hut for one of the four houses:

• Gryffindor
• Hufflepuff
• Ravenclaw
• Slytherin

How exactly the character creation works, which setting options there are, and how we determine the selection of our house, we do not know yet. Likewise, what impact the house choice has on the gameplay.

Information about the gameplay has also been seeded so far: In the trailer we already learn that the school press seems to be an integral part of the role-playing mechanics: in class, we not only learn to master spells and to brew potions, but brew also to tame magical animals. Gradually, we thus evidently improve our character and become the green-tab to the experienced magic apprentice.

Of course, in Hogwart's Legacy, we do not express the school bench exclusively, but also give us a lot of dangers against which we then prove our magic arts in an action-based combat system.

In addition, environmental tubes should be expected: as the trailer suggests, Hogwarts seems to insist as in the books and films from a number of secret doors, courses and rooms, and it would be too easy if we could not do anything to me. . Puzzle and slider and the use of certain skills would be wonderful.

What opponents and tame beings are there?

Among other things, the following magical beings are confirmed: Dragons, dementors, moon calves, trolls, hippogreams, graves and centaurs. With security, not all the beings will be tame, a dementor should rather chase immediately with a patronus hunt ...

Cool: In the trailer we also see that we can fly on a hippo screen. So the Open World we do not necessarily have to open up to foot.

How is the Open World built?

This brings us to the next point: As Open World-RPG, Hogwarts Legacy not only explore the school itself, but also her surroundings . But we do not know how big the game world will fail.

Some places outside Hogwarts but already shows the debut trailer:

• The Forbidden Forest
• The village Hogsmeade

Within Hogwarts we already have the Great Hall, the schoolyard, the library and the classroom for magic potions.

What should it go in the story?

Above the history of the game is currently hovering big question marks: already confirmed that the story is located at the end of the 18th century, so long before the events of the books and movies. Harry Potter was not born yet. Dumbledore was not yet in the world at this time.

The press release states that our magic teacher has a special power that allows him to master and master ancient magic. That in turn is to be the key to ventilate a secret that threatens the world of witches and wizards. Something is always wrong in the Potter world.

Gloomy but not brutal : Story author DC Allen has set itself on Twitter a question of fans. There it was mainly about the death lifelet Avada Kedavra, which is used in the Potterverse of Lord Voldemort and Death Eishers. Accordingly, he says that in 16+ games (teen rating in the US), it can also kill the evil. Important is only that it is not displayed bloody.
