Warner today unveiled a new game screen for Hogwarts Legacy, where players familiar with the Harry Potter series can see the 19th-century Hogwarts student directly attacking enemies with the "Killing Curse," or Avadaso. As one of the three "unforgivable spells" and one of Voldemort's hallmarks, the protagonist's shot does give this game, adapted from a teen-themed novel, a darker theme than the original. Hogwarts Legacy is scheduled to be released during Christmas 2022 and will land on PS5, XSX | S, PS4, XboxOne, Switch and PC platforms.
In Hogwarts Legacy, the player will be involved in school life as a Hogwarts 5th grader, but like Harry Potter, the protagonist is also famous at the school because he also survived an event. Players can grow herbs, mix potions, and craft equipment in the Room of Requirement.
As the core magic system, players can use combat magic such as "Landing on the Ground", "Fire Charm", and use repair spells to solve puzzles in exploration. Fantastic Beasts and Potions can also be used as a booster in battle, such as the Mandela Grass that defies enemies.
Outside of Hogwarts' School Castle, players can go to surrounding towns to solve puzzles and purchase materials and equipment. Dark wizards and dangerous animals roam the area far from the castle, and enemies and NPCs change over time.
