Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment officially announced the release date of Hogwarts Legacy, which is coming on February 10, 2023, for PS4, PS5, XBOX Series X and S, and PC via Steam. A Switch release was also planned but the launch date is to “be revealed soon.”
It’s the second time the open-world action RPG set in the 1800s of the Harry Potter Wizarding World has been delayed, first from 2021 into 2022, then pinned for a holiday 2022 release, and now a delay into the first quarter of 2023.
▍What Can You Expect from Hogwarts Legacy?
Set in the wizarding world of Harry Potter, Hogwarts Legacy takes place over 100 years before the events of the popular book series. The game allows players to create their own character, choose their house, and attend classes, all while an original story involving a goblin rebellion unfolds around them. Developer Avalanche Games also confirmed the game will feature no multiplayer element or microtransactions, opting for a story-driven, single-player experience instead.
Your character is a student who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart. You have received a late acceptance to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and soon discover that you are no ordinary student: you possess an unusual ability to perceive and master Ancient Magic. Only you can decide if you will protect this secret for the good of all, or yield to the temptation of more sinister magic.
