The game’s story happens in the year 1890, which is a hundred years before the stuff in J.K. Rowling’s famous books. So, you won’t meet people you know like Harry Potter and Hermione Granger while you’re playing. This is a new time, a hundred years before those well-known characters went to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Venture to the late 1800s encounter diverse characters, and unravel secrets in a wondrous world of old and new. Though Newt Scamander’s absence in that era, embraces a magizoologist role, tending magical creatures in the Vivarium.

The adventure started a little while ago, with Hogwarts Legacy being fun for players on PC and PlayStation 5 in February. Then, in May, it also became available for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. More goodness ahead: the Nintendo Switch release this year, expands the opportunity for aspiring witches and wizards to play.

The absence of familiar faces but special characters and magical elements make the game uniquely captivating, sans worry. As you explore the detailed places in “Hogwarts Legacy,” you can take care of magical creatures in the Vivarium, which is a lot like what Newt Scamander did in the “Fantastic Beasts” movies.

So, what’s “Hogwarts Legacy” all about? If you haven’t played it yet, the game lets you choose your favorite Hogwarts house and go on a really exciting adventure where you find out lots of cool things. You’ll explore a big world and discover secrets about magic and witchcraft.
