Guided by the Wizard’s Handbook and unique instructions from professors and other characters, fans will be able to navigate a gripping storyline full of exciting challenges and mysteries.
Hogwarts Legacy is available on PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC (Steam/Epic Games Store). It will arrive on PS4 and Xbox One on April 4, and then on the Nintendo Switch on July 25, 2023.
