In just under a month, gamers can finally take their first steps into the Wizarding World as Hogwarts Legacy drops on consoles and PC. The game takes players into the world first introduced in the beloved Harry Potter franchise.
Developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. under the Portkey Games label, the action role-playing-game puts players in the shoes of a new student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, who joins the school in their fifth year. The game is set in the 1890s, around a century before the tale of The Boy Who Lived.
As such, it will feature a host of brand-new characters, as well as one or two who will be familiar to Potterheads. According to the game’s official yet brief synopsis, players take control of “a student who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart.”
