Hogwarts Legacy It won’t be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One until May 5, so you’ll have to wait two more months if you have an older console. That is, if Warner Bros. Games and Avalanche Software don’t push back its release date yet again. They had postponed the release of the game several times in the past few years and was supposed to release it for all consoles on February 10. However, less than a couple of months before that, they revealed that Hogwarts Legacy It will only be available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in February, while PS4 and Xbox One will receive it on April 4.
Hogwarts Legacy is an action RPG with an open world that you can explore and a character creator that you can use to choose your own name, gender, voice, and appearance. It takes place within the Harry Potter universe you’re familiar with, but long before The Boy Who Lived was born.
In the developers’ announcement, they said that they are “working hard to deliver the best possible experience on all platforms” but that they “need more time to do this.” They didn’t state what they meant by that, and it basically echoes what they say when they announced that the game will not be releasing for older consoles in February. However, the developers didn’t mention anything about Switch, so the release is likely scheduled for July 25.
We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the response to Hogwarts Legacy from fans around the world. The team is working hard to deliver the best possible experience across all platforms and we need more time to do that.
