This marks the second postponement of Hogwarts Legacy. This is because it was originally scheduled to start during this year’s holiday period before being pushed back to a February date.
Developer Avalanche Software is slowly but surely sharing the different elements of the game, introducing Hogsmeade Quest, the flying broomstick section, and the dark magic of Hogwarts.
One of the biggest controversies surrounding Hogwarts’ legacy is its relationship with Harry Potter author JK Rowling. Warner Bros. has stated that the author was not directly involved with the game, but said its management “she has the right to express her personal opinion.”
