Hogwarts Legacy will be a brand new game in the Harry Potter universe.
The title is due out this year.
Insiders now have some news about the release.
The "Harry Potter" books and films have inspired entire generations.
It is therefore not surprising that "Hogwarts Legacy"* is one of the most exciting game releases of this year for many fans.
A promising first trailer was unveiled in autumn 2020, which has now been viewed almost 28 million times on YouTube.
Actually, publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment planned to release the game in 2021, but it was already postponed in January.
"Hogwarts Legacy" will therefore be released later this year and insiders have now revealed some information about the release.
"Hogwarts Legacy": Release probably in summer 2022
According to industry insider Tom Henderson, a new PlayStation State of Play stream* will be taking place in February and he says Hogwarts Legacy will be part of that presentation. The announcement trailer was also presented at State of Play in 2020. Henderson explains that the developers could possibly announce the release date during the stream. He himself assumes that "Hogwarts Legacy" will be released in the third quarter of the year, i.e.
in July, August or September
.
Meanwhile, Twitter user AccountNGT, who is also considered a reliable source, has found a clue that suggests the game
may be coming sooner than expected
: a job vacancy with Avalanche Software, the development studio responsible for Hogwarts Legacy, as a producer for the localization (quasi the synchronization of the characters in the game).
According to him, localization is typically one of the last steps in the development process, so it's a sign that Hogwarts Legacy is almost done.
However, "AccountNGT" does not mention a release period, but perhaps Warner Bros. will provide a positive surprise in the State of Play.
