19th Century Open-World Wizard RPGs

'Hogwarts Legacy' Allows Players to Shape the Wizarding World

Set for release in 2021, 'Hogwarts Legacy' offers a new twist on Harry Potter-themed RPGs, placing players in an 1800s version of the world they were introduced to through the eyes of "The Boy Who Lived."

Instead of playing as Harry Potter, players will navigate the open-world adventure game as a new student, who's said to hold the key to an ancient secret. Throughout the game, they'll have the chance to form alliances with other students, solve puzzles, and of course, defeat Dark wizards that seek to destroy them. As players progress, they've gain new skills as they continue to learn in class, and will encounter fantastical beasts of all kinds. Depending on the choices they make, they can choose to be good or evil—with their decisions ultimately shaping the future of the wizarding world.

Hogwarts Legacy is developed by Avalanche Software, and will be available on PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
