Hogwarts Legacy 2023
CONTENTS :
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, taking place in the late 1800s, a century before the events of the Harry Potter novels. The player controls a student at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who learns to wield different magical abilities and objects, aided by other students and professors, and is involved in uncovering an ancient secret of the wizarding world.
Hogwarts Legacy is Avalanche's first release since their acquisition by Warner Bros. in 2017. Development began in 2018, while pre-release gameplay footage was leaked onto the internet in the same year. Officially announced in 2020, the game became highly anticipated. Before release, the game attracted controversy due to Harry Potter creator J. K. Rowling's views on transgender people and accusations of including anti-Semitic tropes, leading to calls for a boycott. Following some delays, it was released on 10 February 2023 for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. It is scheduled for release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch later in 2023.
GAMEPLAY :
Hogwarts Legacy is an action role-playing game played in a third person perspective, where players are embarking on an open world journey; threatened by an ancient secret. One of the main elements for the player is to attend classes at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Players can explore familiar locations from the Wizarding World franchise, such as Hogsmeade or the Forbidden Forest. Each of the four known houses, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Raven claw and Slytherin, also offers a unique common room. These rooms are only accessible for the player's current house chosen by the Sorting Hat. Accompanied by the choice of house, the player receives different exclusive quests. Progressing through the game sees the interior and exterior of the castle change visually to match the seasons. The game also features changing music based on the location of the player character, as they move through the open world.
During character creation, the player can choose their appearance, gender, and one of the four Hogwarts Houses. Players may customise their character's voice and body type, and add accessories such as glasses in character creation. 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 and field guide pages. While house points for the four Hogwarts houses play a part in the game's plot, they are not influenced by player actions.
SYNOPSIS :
Setting and characters :
Hogwarts Legacy is set in the late 1800s, taking place in locations such as Hogwarts castle, Hogsmeade and the Scottish Highlands. The game follows a student (voiced by Sebastian Croft or Amelia Gething) starting at Hogwarts as the protagonist in the fifth year. As the protagonist starts at the school later than other students, the Ministry of Magic provides a wizard field guide. Completing sections of this guide through exploration provides additional information and experience points. The player character, who holds the key to an "ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart", is capable of manipulating a mysterious ancient magic, and will need to help uncover why this forgotten magic has suddenly made a resurgence and the ones that are simultaneously trying to harness it.
Plot :
The protagonist receives a letter from Professor Weasley, containing the confirmation of attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a 5th year student, while naming Professor Fig as the protagonist's mentor. Fig escorts the protagonist from London to Hogwarts via a flying coach. While discussing an unknown artifact, a dragon attacks them. The dragon rips the coach apart, and Fig and the protagonist drop out of it. Fig uses a spell to reach the key that was inside the artifact and when doing so, it turns out to be a Portkey able to teleport to Gringotts. Using the key to enter an old vault, the protagonist learns they can see ancient magic and is confronted by goblin Ranrok. Fig and the protagonist escape the goblin, and the protagonist begins their term at Hogwarts.
Development :
The game was developed by Avalanche Software, which was acquired by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment from Disney in January 2017. In the same year, Warner Bros. established a new publishing label named Portkey Games, which was dedicated to managing the Wizarding World license. The Harry Potter creator J. K. Rowling was not involved in development. Five years in the making, experts estimate Hogwarts Legacy's budget at $150 million.
