Create your own Wizarding World story with Harry Potter role-playing game, ‘Hogwarts Legacy’

During yesterday’s PlayStation 5 Showcase, Warner Bros. Games finally announced the long-rumored ‘Harry Potter RPG,’ officially titled “Hogwarts Legacy.”

This open-world, single-player, action role-playing game will immerse players in the 1800s wizarding world. They will become students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and eventually set out on a journey to uncover a hidden truth of this magical world.

Set to release in 2021 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One consoles, and PC, this game will allow players to become the witch or wizard they’ve always dreamed of being. Their abilities will grow as they master spells, hone their combat skills, and choose companions to help them face off against deadly enemies. Players will also encounter missions and situations that pose difficult choices and determine their morality and what they stand for.

“‘Hogwarts Legacy’ gives players control over their own experience with RPG gameplay unlike anything else in the Wizarding World, which will continue to build fan appeal in the Portkey Games label,” said David Haddad, president of Warner Bros. Games. “Avalanche has brought to life this rich and deep world, full of action-packed magic, as well as a detailed, mysterious story to engage fans and gamers alike.”

“It’s such an honor to work on such an amazing franchise and the team is dedicated to delivering an authentic Wizarding World experience that both Harry Potter and RPG fans will enjoy,” said John Blackburn, studio general manager for Avalanche, the studio developing the game. “‘Hogwarts Legacy’ is so special because it allows players to immerse themselves in a new narrative that is filled with complex characters, and, of course, magic.”
