After multiple delays and controversies, the wait for Hogwarts Legacy is almost over. The wizarding world RPG is slated to be released early next month, and Potterheads are eager to dip their toes into the game world, explore popular locations from the Potterverse, and learn about the various magical subjects on offer.

The wizarding world role-playing game is scheduled to be released by WB Games Avalanche on February 10, 2023, on PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S. The title will be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on April 4, 2023, and on Nintendo Switch on July 25, 2023.
Developers revealed the pre-order information and the various edition details months ago for players to choose from. Interestingly, PlayStation owners will be privy to the platform-exclusive DLC mission called The Haunted Hogsmeade Shop and the Felix Felicis Potion recipe.
While exclusively giving content for the PlayStation did not go down well with players on other platforms, the community is eager to finally get their hands on Hogwarts Legacy after a string of delays saw the release date pushed back to 2023. It remains to be seen whether the hotly-anticipated RPG will live up to its ever-increasing hype.
