LET'S GO WITH THE INFORMATION WE ALL WANT TO KNOW
We know that it is difficult to get over the history of Harry Potter and its characters, and for the same reason, many will wonder: How does Hogwarts Legacy fit into the Harry Potter Wizarding World?
Well, while Portkey Games are not direct adaptations of the books and films, the games are firmly rooted in the magical universe of the Wizarding World. While remaining true to J.K. Rowling's original vision, Portkey game developers chart new territory by creating fresh ways for fans to immerse themselves in the Wizarding World.
And speaking of the relationship with movies, what is J.K. Rowling's involvement with the game? Is this a new story from J.K. Rowling?
J.K. Rowling is not involved in the creation of the game, but as the creator of the wizarding world and one of the world's greatest storytellers, her extraordinary body of writing is the foundation of all projects in the Wizarding World. This is not a new story from J.K. Rowling, however, they have collaborated closely with her team on all aspects of the game to ensure it remains in line with the magical experiences fans expect.
So, what can you spect of Hogwarts Legacy? Players will experience life as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1800s as they embark on a dangerous journey to uncover a hidden truth of the wizarding world. They will grow their magical abilities by mastering spells, brewing potions, taming magical beasts, and more. Oh, and of course, players can choose their Hogwarts house at the start of the game.
THIS IS FOR REAL POTTERHEADS:
Can players link their Harry Potter Fan Club account with their WB Games Account to import their house and wand into Hogwarts Legacy?
Yes, based on the Harry Potter Fan Club’s official Sorting Experience, together with the WandCeremony, players can bring their authentic selves into the game. Linking accounts will also unlock a Beaked Skull Mask and exclusive House Fan-Atic Robes in-game, a special set of house-themed robes so players can represent their Hogwarts house with style.
WHAT ABOUT QUIDDITCH?
Sadly quidditch is not playable in Hogwarts Legacy. However, broom flight for traversal and broom race challenges are part of the game. Players can also fly brooms to explore new and familiar locations surrounding Hogwarts Castle.
IF YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS…
We need to tell you that Hogwarts Legacy is a single-player experience and does not have online or co-op gameplay.
In the game, you will also be able to explore the magical world, find secret passages, ride magical animals, create potions, customize your character, go to classes, and much more.
