Pre-orders seemingly reveal Hogwarts Legacy’s official release date

Going by Serrano’s tweet, it can be said that Hogwarts Legacy is arriving at the end of this year. To be precise, the release date is of December 2022.

Speaking of the latest reveal, then the preorders available for Hogwarts Legacy include the versions for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Xbox Series X. Once again, for the purpose of clarification, they are currently showing up on the Italian website of Amazon.

So what does this mean? Is Hogwarts Legacy actually coming out in December?

Well, it might be the case, certainly, when considering the preorder links that are showing up at the moment.

And that should be a cause of celebration among the fans who were curious to know the launch date for the last few months. However, they might feel heartbroken, slightly, since the game was initially expected to arrive earlier, in September 2022. But the preorders now suggest that it’s, in fact, landing in the last month of the year.

Still, everyone should take this update with a grain of salt, unless the makers themselves announce something on this matter.

What to expect from the magical title?

Talking about the magical title from Avalanche Software, Hogwarts Legacy will offer an immersive fictional world to the players. They will be able to explore an open world map comprising enchanting elements. They are inspired by J.K. Rowling’s series of books based on Harry Potter.

But the game won’t feature any of the characters related to the ‘Boy Who Lived’. Simply because Hogwarts Legacy is set in the 1800s, where the players will take on the role of a young student in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
