Hogwarts Legacy is an immersive, action-packed, open-world role-playing game set in the wizarding world of the 1800s. As a fifth-year student, players will explore both new and familiar locations, encounter magical beasts, brew potions, master spell-casting, enhance their talents, and tailor their character to embody the witch or wizard they've always dreamed of becoming. The game is set to launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day as the console's release, June 5.
Our experience with Hogwarts Legacy was nothing short of magical, earning it a 9/10 in the IGN Hogwarts Legacy review, where we stated: "in almost every way, Hogwarts Legacy is the Harry Potter RPG [we've] always wanted to play."
