The magical world of Harry Potter, a land of enchantment and mystery, just begging to be explored. JK Rowling’s world came to life when Hogwarts Legacy materialized. It allowed players to experience firsthand what going to Hogwarts could have been, just like in the books. While the game came out on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, Nintendo did not get a release, something devs had been working to correct.

These efforts were not in vain, as the Nintendo Switch release for Hogwarts Legacy is fast approaching. With a November 14 release date, Switch fans can barely contain themselves. However, one thing they are yearning to know is if their favorite Hogwarts headmaster will be making an appearance.

Is Dumbledore part of Hogwarts Legacy in the Nintendo Switch release?

The answer might be disappointing, but no, Albus Dumbledore will not be a part of the game, even on the Switch release. Earlier in the year, when the game initially came out, fans were dying to know if the leader of the Order of the Phoenix was a part of the game.

The simple answer was no. Simply put, putting Dumbledore in the game was not feasible. While alive in the early 1800s, when the game was set, Dumbledore is not old enough to attend Hogwarts. Seeing him feature in the magical world of the game is quite shocking.

While his presence in the game as a character is out of the question, fans hope to see something else. With the unfortunate passing of Sir Michael Gambon, the actor who donned the robes of Albus Dumbledore, fans hoped to see some sort of tribute in the game. It looks like fans might just have to wait till the Switch release of the game to find out.

Why did the Switch release for Hogwarts Legacy come later?

Hogwarts Legacy initially came out in February, earlier this year. The Switch platform did not get a release due to the hardware requirements for the game. Simply put, Nintendo did not have enough hardware juice to support a game like Hogwarts Legacy.

The main issue was the RAM. With only 4 GB available for usage, devs found it difficult to make the game perform in an adequate manner while ensuring it still looked as graphically advanced as they intended it to be. As a result, the release got pushed from February to November.

At the moment, most fans speculate the Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy will target a 720p resolution running at 30 fps. While not as graphically advanced as the game’s counterparts on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC, it seems like the right balance between performance and quality.
