Hogwarts Legacy, the upcoming open-world action role-playing game is almost upon us. One of the most anticipated games of the decade, which has been developed by Warner Bros. Games and Avalanche Software, is scheduled to launch on 10 February 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series X and PC, though Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One gamers will have to wait a little bit longer.
With the Hogwarts Legacy release date fast-approaching, new details and trailers are dropping almost daily. Last week, Warner Bros. announced the voice actors for the upcoming game, and it was revealed that Simon Pegg will be playing the role of Phineas Nigellus Black.
Sebastian Croft (Heartstopper, Game of Thrones) and Amelia Gething (The Amelia Gething Complex) will each voice the optional main characters, while Luke Youngblood, who played Lee Jordan in the Harry Potter films, will also be returning as a new Ravenclaw character.
Hogwarts Legacy was made available to pre-order in August last year, with Warners Bros. and Avalanche revealing a deluxe and collector’s edition of the game. Those who pre-order the deluxe edition will receive the game 72 hours before everyone else. Here’s how to pre-order Hogwarts Legacy on all platforms.

‘Hogwarts Legacy’ storyline and gameplay
Hogwarts Legacy is set a century before Harry Potter stepped foot in Hogwarts and before the rise of Lord Voldemort. You play as a fifth-year late-blooming student at Hogwarts who “holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart”. In the game, you’ll discover magical beasts, fully customise your character, as well as craft potions, master spell casting and upgrade talents. You’ll make friends and allies, battle evil wizards and decide the fate of the wizarding world.
In August 2022, we saw a Hogwarts Legacy gameplay trailer from the perspective of a Slytherin student. It showcased some of the darker elements players will encounter, including a closer look at the game’s more dangerous locales, sinister foes and fearsome magical creatures lurking in the shadows.
Focusing on one of Hogwarts Legacy’s optional companion questlines with Sebastian Sallow, the trailer also provided a glimpse at the “Unforgivable Curses” and difficult dilemmas players will face.
As players learn more about the Sallow family’s mystery, and decide whether to engage with, or even embrace, the dark arts, it hints at the possibility of playing as an evil precursor to Voldemort.
