Hogwarts Legacy

The gameplay revolves around players' experiences at the school as they choose their own house, attend classes and learn spells, discover hidden secrets and face dangerous creatures, and explore the vast and magical world of the wizarding community. The game features an open-world structure, allowing players to explore and interact with various locations in and around the school, including Hogsmeade village, Forbidden Forest and more. Some of the locations from the books are visualized for the first time in this game.

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.

The game also features various mini-games, crafting and customization options, allowing players to create their own unique character and equipment. 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 quest, players can investigate a run-down shop Cassandra Mason wants to sell. Once the quest is completed, players have access to the shop to sell items and gear, and receive a Shopkeeper cosmetic set.

Pre-orders of the PlayStation 5 version also include a Felix Felicis potion recipe, revealing gear chests on the mini-map for one in-game day.
