PlayStation’s latest State Of Play focuses on Hogwarts Legacy, taking a deep dive into the game. Much of the game’s never before seen details, from mechanics to actual gameplay footage, are revealed in this livestream, and it provides a pretty in-depth look at what players can expect when Hogwarts Legacy releases on PS4 and PS5 later this year.
Developed by Avalanche Software and published by WB Games, Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world action rpg game based on the universe of Harry Potter. Although, this won’t take place during the same era. According to the State Of Play video, Hogwarts Legacy takes place in the late 1800s. There will be some “familiar faces” that you’ll find floating around the school.
But many of the characters you meet on your adventures will be new as Hogwarts Legacy features an entirely original story. Built on the foundation of a wizarding world that fans of the series will be seeing for the very first time.
Hogwarts Legacy brings the wizarding world to life in this State Of Play
When you begin your journey in Hogwarts Legacy, you’ll start with what at first glance appears to be a pretty robust character creator. Where you will create your own witch or wizard. From there, you make you way to Hogwarts as a 5th year who is starting later than the other students. You have a mysterious connection to some ancient, long-forgotten magics. And you’ll need to uncover those mysteries as you progress.
Players will get to do everything from crafting gear and potions to learning new spells. You will be able to attend classes revolving around the many different aspects of magic too.
You’ll also be able to explore the castle in between classes. And by the sounds of things, the school will be a massive exploratory area. Use this time to discover hidden dungeons and solve some of the game’s many puzzles that will require “specific magical skills and a clever mind.”
In addition to all of this stuff, players get access to a “deep set” of upgrades, talents, and skills. These will be the cornerstone of player progression throughout the game. Helping you become more powerful alongside all your flashy new spells. Players can earn experience in numerous ways, including by completing challenges placed throughout the game world.
And of course, when it comes to travel, you won’t have to walk everywhere. You’ll be able to both fly around on brooms and on the back of a hippogriff. Though it’s not exactly clear when or where you’ll have to access to each. Basically, Hogwarts Legacy is the Harry Potter game fans have probably been dreaming about for two decades. You’re going to want to sink some time into this one.
