Hogwarts Legacy has finally arrived. After more than two years of non-stop hype online, Harry Potter fans are at last able to play the Wizarding World RPG they’ve always dreamed of.

In Hogwarts Legacy, players join the eponymous school as a fifth-year student in the 1890s. Its time period sets it clearly apart from the Harry Potter novels and films. This allows the game to tell its own story about “a dangerous journey to uncover a hidden truth of the wizarding world.”

Players are also able to put their own stamp on their Legacy adventure. That’s because you’re free to create your own witch or wizard, and even experience your very own sorting ceremony.

During your time at Hogwarts, you can forge relationships, learn spells, attend classes, and explore the world in and around the school in exquisite detail.

Early reactions to the game have been very positive. And as players get stuck in, they’ll start to encounter numerous puzzles, challenges, quests, and enemies.
