Hogwarts Legacy is a 2023 action role-playing game developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Games under its Portkey Games label. The game is set in the Wizarding World universe, based on the Harry Potter novels, and was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S in 2023. It is scheduled for release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch later in 2023.

Taking place before the events of the novels, the player controls a student at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the late 1800s who learns to wield different magical abilities and objects, aided by other students and professors. Hogwarts Legacy is Avalanche's first release since their acquisition by Warner Bros. in 2017. Development began in 2018. Announced in 2020, the game was subject to delays, first to 2022 and later to its final release date. Before its announcement, pre-release gameplay footage was leaked onto the internet in 2018.

The game received generally favourable reviews from critics, with praise for the combat, world design, and characters, and criticism for its side missions and technical problems. Before release, the game attracted controversy due to the views on transgender people held by the Harry Potter creator J. K. Rowling and allegations that the game included antisemitic tropes, leading to calls for a boycott.

Gameplay
Hogwarts Legacy is an action role-playing game in which players are able to attend classes at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Players can explore locations from the Wizarding World franchise, such as the Forbidden Forest, Diagon Alley, and Hogsmeade.[2] Other areas as yet unseen visually in other media include the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw common rooms.[3] Progressing through the game sees the interior and exterior of the castle change visually to match the seasons.[4]

During character creation, the player can choose their appearance, gender, and one of the four Hogwarts Houses. Players may customise their character's voice, body type, and add accessories such as glasses in character creation.[5][6] Level progression allows the player to access and upgrade different spells, talents, and abilities. Through in-game challenges, the player character gains experience points to gain levels. These challenges come in the form of combat, quests, exploration, field guide pages, and the Room of Requirement. While house points for the four Hogwarts houses play a part in the game's plot, they are not influenced by player actions.[6] The game features environmental customisation elements; players can modify the Room of Requirement as they level up through the game.[7]

The player character learns to cast various magical spells, brew potions and master combat abilities. As players progress, they develop their own special combat style.[8] While attending classes does advance gameplay mechanics, such spell learnings are not a scheduled gameplay element in itself. Classes will be attended as part of plot development milestones.[6] Players can acquire combat items, either through trading or crafting, which may be used to harm enemies or apply buffs to the player. Players will be able to tame, care for, and ride different magical beasts, including hippogriffs and thestrals. Dragons, trolls, acromantulas, graphorns, mooncalves, fwoopers, kneazles, and nifflers are other interactable magical creatures. Some creatures can be used in combat, such as the use of mandrakes to stun enemies.[9]

Player characters can establish friendships with interactable non-player characters. As these relationships grow, schoolmates become companions who can accompany players on their journey, expand their abilities, and offer unique dialogue options as players learn their stories.[10]
