Hogwarts Legacy

Combat is fast-paced and based around casting and combining different spells, and players have the ability to choose their playstyle and upgrade their skills. There is a variety of spells, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, and they are used in different ways to defeat enemies and overcome obstacles. The combat system aims to be intuitive and accessible, with players able to quickly cast and dodge incoming attacks. There is a deep upgrade system to improve spells and characters over time, making them more powerful and effective in combat. Additionally, various magical artifacts can be equipped and unlocked, such as wands and robes, to give them an extra edge in battles.

There are also various mini-games, crafting and customization options, allowing players to create their own unique character and equipment. Through the character creation system players can customize their appearance, including the option to choose their own gender. Furthermore, the game offers a dynamic day-night cycle and weather system.

In an exclusive Haunted Hogsmeade quest the player gets to investigate a run-down shop Cassandra Mason wants to sell. Once the quest is completed the player has access to the shop to sell items and gear, and receives a Shopkeeper cosmetic set. This quest was later added to the other platforms via a free update.

In addition pre-orders of the PlayStation 5 version add Felix Felicis potion recipe, also known as "liquid luck." It reveals gear chests on the mini-map for one in-game day.
