Hogwarts Legacy is an upcoming action RPG being developed by Avalanche Software that will allow players to explore the wizarding world J.K. Fans and detractors of Hogwarts Legacy alike may be interested to learn that more news on the project is scheduled to be revealed early next year.

Rowling's increasingly controversial actions in the present. With such a strong pedigree, Hogwarts Legacy has a lot of expectations riding on it, even with J.K. Speaking of which, wandering Hogwarts’ halls and exploring places where good students shouldn’t go will open up various side quests that you can embark upon around your compulsory classes and the main story.It's difficult to overstate the impact the Harry Potter franchise has had on pop culture in the last few decades. It looks as though there should be lots of additional lore to soak up just by being nosey. We overheard what some of the teachers had been up to, watched a student get in trouble for venturing into an area that was off-limits, and heard that there was some sort of altercation with a troll earlier in the game. Hogwarts is a busy place, bustling with students from each of the four houses, so if you want to keep up with all the gossip we recommend pausing to listen in on what some of your classmates are talking about.

We spotted this once during our session but imagine it’ll feature more heavily across the full adventure.

This handy charm has been reimagined as a lockpicking minigame that requires you to turn two cogs slowly until the gears are perfectly aligned, demonstrated by colourful sparks. Fans will remember Harry Potter characters frequently uttering the phrase “Alohomora” to unlock doors, windows, and more.
