Hogwarts Legacy

Hogwarts Legacy, a role-playing game developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Games under the Portkey Games label, is set in the Wizarding World universe. It takes place in the late 1800s, a century prior to the events depicted in the Harry Potter novels. In this game, the player assumes the role of a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who learns to master a variety of magical abilities and objects, aided by fellow students and professors. The game involves uncovering an ancient secret of the wizarding world.

Avalanche Software was acquired by Warner Bros. in 2017, and Hogwarts Legacy is their first release since the acquisition. The development of the game began in 2018, and although pre-release gameplay footage was leaked on the internet that same year, the game was officially announced in 2020 and was highly anticipated. Prior to its release, the game faced controversy due to J.K. Rowling's views on transgender individuals and allegations of including antisemitic themes, leading to calls for a boycott. The game was eventually released on February 10, 2023, for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S, with plans for release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch later in the year.
