Unfortunately, this trip to Hogwarts comes with some heavy baggage. But after years of pandemic delays, the studio managed to deliver on the magical fantasy it promised (with one notable absence - you can fly a broomstick, but you can't play Quidditch!).

The team previously worked on the Disney Infinity series and other Disney properties like Cars and Toy Story: projects that weren't anywhere near the scale that Avalanche claimed Hogwarts Legacy would reach. tasked the studio to develop the game back in 2018. It was well worth the wait - developer Avalanche Software exceeded expectations.įans were anxious when Warner Bros. There have been movie tie-ins and LEGO games but until Hogwarts Legacy, out Friday, no studio had attempted to make a big-budget, prestige experience based on the franchise. But unlike that tale from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, the Wizarding World hasn't boasted prolific video game adaptations until now.

Harry Potter may be to millennials what Star Wars was for Gen X: a surprise hit that sparked a generation-defining phenomenon. Potions, spells, and all manner of magical mischief await in Hogwarts Legacy.
