Those interested could save the trailer for later and edit out the music, while live streamers could mute the audio the moment it starts playing. As usual, there will not be any pre-show, so you might want to tune in right as it begins.
After being discussed for years through leaked images and clips on Reddit, Hogwarts Legacy made an official appearance during a PlayStation 5 event in 2020. At the time, it was slated for a 2020 launch, though it later got pushed into 2022 for further development time.
Developed in collaboration two studios – Portkey Games and Avalanche Software, Hogwarts Legacy is set in the 1800s, long before the Chosen One was even born. As a role-playing game, players will be tasked with creating their own custom wizards and embark on a whimsical journey through the magic-laden castle and the dense Forbidden Forest.
Players will learn new spells, potion crafting, tame fantastic beasts, fly around on broomsticks, and battle enigmatic dark wizards to name just a few. Talents are also upgradeable, letting you grow and develop into the kind of witch or wizard you desire to be. Hogwarts Legacy is currently slated for launch this year, on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Windows PC.
