The post reads: “The team is excited for you to play, but we need a little more time to deliver the best possible game experience.” The game was originally revealed in September 2020, with Hogwarts Legacy given a release date for some time in 2021. During Playstation’s live-stream of Hogwarts Legacy gameplay, a release window of “holidays 2022”was finally given, meaning that we were expecting to see the new game released sometime before Christmas, but it looks like fans of the franchise will have to wait a few more months before they will be able to explore the school of witchcraft and wizardry. According to an FAQ on the official Hogwarts Legacy website, the Harry Potter author is not directly involved with the game’s development. “The story showcased in the game is not a new story from JK Rowling.” Can players customise their characters in ‘Hogwarts Legacy?’ The FAQ also states that players will be able to fully customise their chosen character, whether they decide to play as a witch or wizard.
