The developer of the upcoming open-world Harry Potter game got to show off 14 minutes of footage from the game at a special stream on the PS State of Play.
Despite the Sony-hosted debut, Hogwarts Legacy isn't a Sony exclusive and will also be released on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X / Series S in addition to the PS4 and PS 5.
Players will get to create their own character, be sorted into one of the four Hogwarts houses, and take classes.

Combat will involve using different spell combinations to exploit specific enemy weaknesses or abilities, with the ability to mix and match spells in duels. As they progress through the game, players will be able to modify their characters with magical gear and abilities.
The game is set in the 1800s, decades before the events of either the original books or the more recent Fantastic Beasts franchise of films, so don't expect much. The story will focus on a possible rebellion of goblins against the Wizarding World and the usual group of dark wizards and dangerous beasts.
Shortly after its announcement, the release date for Hogwarts Legacy was changed to 2022. The game's lead designer left the project due to controversial videos defending the Gamergate movement. J.K. Rowling isn't directly involved in the creation of the game.
This holiday season, Hogwarts Legacy is coming to PC, PS5 and PS4.
