The creators behind the Hogwarts Legacy role-playing action inside the Harry Potter universe shared a fresh half-hour gameplay showcase, offering fans a deeper look at what to expect from Avalanche Software. Here are the highlights from that session:
- Environments will feel expansive and populated. The team aimed to fill these spaces with meaningful tasks, events, and hidden secrets to invite ongoing exploration.
- Players will have the freedom to soar across the map on a broom or a hippogriff, traversing the world at will and discovering new vistas from above and below.
- Broom enhancements are on the table, including upgrades that can boost speed and performance, giving players more control over flight dynamics.
- With each seasonal shift, Hogwarts and its surroundings transform fundamentally, and the school’s internal architecture shifts as well, creating a living, breathing setting that mirrors the changing year.
- Every student character will enjoy a personal auxiliary space—a cluster of rooms where players can brew potions, upgrade gear, and engage in other customization activities that deepen progression.
- The player’s own menagerie will grow and evolve. It can be customized with various objects, and these features will unlock as the game unfolds, offering personal touches to the in-game companion ecosystem.
Hogwarts Legacy is scheduled to release on February 10 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and Series S. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions are planned for release on April 4, followed by a Nintendo Switch launch on July 25. The presentation also teased a visually striking feature set that fans can expect to see in action as the game reaches broader audiences.
