While PlayStation and Avalanche Software have reiterated the release window of Holiday 2022 several times by now, a delay isn’t really impossible. This is especially because Hogwarts Legacy has previously suffered a delay.
On the other hand, Avalanche Software has not mentioned any delay in plans, so there’s no official reason to worry. They have also been teasing bits from the game, showcasing how perfect the environment and sound design are.
