‘Hogwarts Legacy’ will hit Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC this holiday season

Hogwarts Legacy will arrive on PC, Switch, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles in holiday 2022. Hogwarts Legacy was delayed to 2022. The “holiday” timeframe is one step closer to an actual release date.

And that’s not all — during today’s State of Play livestream Update your settings here, then reload the page to see it.

As familiar as that sounds, this is a game filled with original storylines and Harry Potter author JK Rowling (She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named) isn’t directly involved in its development. Hogwarts Legacy features fresh professors, students, villains, mentors and creatures, plus some familiar ghosts. Players will be able to fly on broomsticks, gain friends who will join them on quests and upgrade their abilities based on how they like to play. It’s not all contained to Hogwarts, either — the shops at Hogsmeade are also available to explore.
