It is safe to say that the young adult novel/movie franchise, Harry Potter, has left its footprint in all of pop culture. The franchise and its expanded universe are still quite popular and relevant. In fact, the Harry Potter franchise has propelled itself into the gaming industry as well. The series made waves yet again in the video game industry after the reveal of Hogwarts Legacy.
The new addition in the Harry Potter universe will not be taking place in the same time period as the movies. While the game was announced all the way back in 2020 and was scheduled to release in 2021, the game has since been delayed with little official information available.

Ex developer hypes community up with tweet on Hogwarts Legacy
‘Podcast Now’ used their Twitter handle to predict and speculate about the news of Hogwarts Legacy being shown on 10 March.
5 more days until *supposedly #HogwartsLegacy is shown, otherwise someone is Very VERY wrong. (I personally am not expecting it but we'll see)

While Podcast Now is a handle that has a considerable amount of credibility, they had nothing to back this claim up. This was nothing more than a baseless rumor. However, it looks like someone has backed this claim up, albeit in an anonymous manner.
Troy Leavitt is a video game developer. He has also been involved in the development of Hogwarts Legacy. So, it is safe to say that this individual knows what they’re talking about.
Neither confirming nor denying the rumor, but the timing seems about right to me. I guess we'll see! 🙂

The developer stated, while maintaining ambiguity, that the timing is in line with what seems to be going at Portkey Studios, the developer of this title. However, as everyone knows, until there is any official news, everything needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
Hogwarts Legacy sports a more non-linear form of gameplay. The game will also greatly increase player freedom with a morality system. This means that the player’s actions and choices are not bound by the game. If desired, the player can embrace the dark side of magic just like Tom Riddle.
