Since its formalization in September 2020 (yes, already) with a trailer bewitching, Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy did not show up again, especially since it had been postponed to 2022. Fortunately, Warner Bros. clarified last January the arrival of the title on the shelves for this year. The recent State of Play was dedicated to games from Japanese publishers, no wonder it didn’t make an appearance, but the rumors that we were hearing about it this month were still correct, as evidenced by the good news from this beginning of the week.
Yes, we will finally see more regarding Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy and not later than this Thursday, March 17 at 10:00 p.m.! One State of Play will be entirely dedicated to him, although as a reminder, it is a cross-platform game expected on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One and PC. As mentioned on the PlayStation-Blog, Avalanche Software and Warner Bros. Games have teamed up with the manufacturer to offer us 20 minutes of presentation, including 14 minutes of gameplay on PlayStation 5.

Updated 03/17/22 : the presentation can be followed below.
These 14 minutes of presentation of gameplay have everything to please fans of the license and were rich in detail. We will therefore be able to create our wizard or witch from scratch, highly customizable later, before choosing our house to Hogwartsobviously passing through the box Sorting Hat in the reception room, and will begin the adventure in 5th grade. Our character will have the particularity of being able to master an ancient form of magic, which will lead him to decide the fate of the magical world, just that. The story will take place in a living world of the 1800s, not only consisting of the school, but also the countryside and places known as Hogsmeade with its merchants or Gringotts, its carriages on rails being seen. In the company of an old professor, we are going to be faced with a rebellion of goblins, which seems to be the tip of the iceberg, dark mages working in the shadows. We will also be confronted with various magical creatures corrupted by a mysterious force, centaurs, trolls and other dragons being shown, each having their strengths and weaknesses as in any good RPG.
But don’t panic, our arsenal will be more than varied, since the many courses of Hogwarts in the presence of new teachers will prepare us properly to defend ourselves in duels, to prepare potions, to become an outstanding botanist by cultivating plants or even to treat magical creatures. Some familiar faces such as that of Sir Nicholas a.k.a Nearly Headless Nick will also be present. Exploration of the castle with its share of puzzles and secret passages, flight on a broomstick with even Quidditchmini-games, secondary quests of all kinds, season system changing our environment and much more are also on the agenda.
The clashes will make us use a variety of spells ranging fromFire to the terrible spell of death, Avada Kedavrawith the possibility of using objects from the environment by grabbing them from a distance, deploying a shield, becoming invisible and using different finishers. Potions will grant bonuses, for example, and some plants will even fight alongside us. We will be able toimprove our spells, loot and crafter equipment, use the Room of Requirement to grow our plants and a customizable hub will act as a menagerie for our magical creatures. At last, make friends with other students will allow us to learn more about them as we go and they will accompany us on the adventure.
