Hogwarts Legacy’s launch is just around the corner so Avalanche Software and Portkey Games, a subsidiary of Warner Bros Games, have sent out the formal invitation to all the excited witches and wizards looking forward to experiencing the magic! To do so, they created a wonderful cinematic trailer that gives fans a breathtaking bird's eye view of the castle grounds and beyond.
Follow an owl carrying the coveted invitation as it soars across the castle rooftops and over the heads of students in The Great Hall, providing an overhead view of some of the iconic Hogwarts locations that players will be able to explore. As the owl glides through the castle, fans will recognize some familiar names and faces, including Nearly Headless Nick and Professor Weasley. The owl’s journey also highlights some of the hidden dangers that players will face, as it narrowly avoids a horde of giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest, a deadly blast of Avada Kedavra from masked wizards, and a dragon’s fiery breath.
They’ve also announced the return of Wizarding Wednesdays! Fans will be able to celebrate the official release of Hogwarts Legacy on each of the four Wednesdays leading up to the game’s release by entering to win exclusive Wizarding World prizes, including a chance to win a Universal Parks & Resorts vacation at either Hollywood or Orlando to experience the magic of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Learn more about Wizarding Wednesdays on the Hogwarts Legacy website.
Hogwarts Legacy is set to release on February 10, 2023, for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, then on April 4th for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and then on July 25th for Nintendo Switch.
