In the year 2022, Hogwarts Legacy will be available on PC, PS4, PS5 and Xbox One. The Hogwarts Legacy was supposed to come out in 2021, but was delayed to 2022. The holiday timeframe is one step closer to an actual release date.

WB Games dropped a trailer for the first real look at how this sucker will look and play during the State of Play livestream.

The events of the Harry Potter books are not the focus of Hogwarts Legacy. The game is set in the 1800s, where players are placed in their fifth year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where they will learn spells, brew Potion, grow magical plants, tame wild beasts and attend classes. The key to saving the wizarding world from dark forces is found in the ability of players to manipulate ancient magic.

This is a game filled with original storylines and not directly involved with the development of the Harry Potter author, She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Hogwarts Legacy has fresh professors, students, villains, mentors and ghosts. Players will be able to fly on broomsticks, gain friends and upgrade their abilities based on how they like to play. The shops at Hogsmeade are also open to explore.
