Warner Bros. Games and Playstation hosted a “State of Play” livestream earlier this evening and shared the Official Gameplay Reveal for Hogwarts Legacy. Hogwarts Legacy is an “open-world, action role-playing-game set in the 1800s wizarding world.” Scheduled for a holiday 2022 release, the game will be available for PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One consoles, Nintendo Switch™ and PC. Warner Bros. Games have sent over a couple videos which can be watched below.
Hogwarts Legacy is filled with immersive magic that puts players at the centre of their own adventure. Joining as a brand new fifth year student with a unique ability to manipulate powerful ancient magic, players will live the unwritten and embark on a dangerous journey to uncover a hidden truth of the wizarding world. Throughout their adventure, they will grow their character’s abilities by mastering powerful spells, brewing potions, and harvesting magical plants as they face off against deadly enemies. Along the way, they will meet new friends who can accompany them, interact with school professors, and confront dangers that could jeopardize the future of wizardkind.
The State of Play video gives an in-depth look into the gameplay, including character customization, and some of the different spells, adventures, missions, locations, and characters players will encounter as a student at Hogwarts.
An Official Behind the Scenes video featuring comments by the creative minds making the game was also shared.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, romance is coming to the mobile game Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery! Players will soon be able to go on dates and “experience romance” in the game. Players were able to go on dates during past events and loved it so much that Jam City have decided to make it a permanent feature, starting February 16th!
Hogwarts Mystery Players who have gotten to Year 5, Chapter 9 will also be able to participate in a Valentine’s Day side quest. Read the full press release to learn more about the new features and Valentine’s events!
Love is in the air…and it’s here to stay. Jam City, a leading mobile entertainment studio, along with Portkey Games, a label from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, today announced the highly anticipated feature update to the No. 1 most downloaded mobile game at launch, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. Beginning February 16, players will now be able to go on dates whenever they please, and experience romance permanently in the game.
First introduced in 2019 during a special in-game Celestial Ball event, the element of romance has since appeared on four different occasions and was consistently met with resounding enthusiasm as players have opted to go on a total of 2.9 million dates with an original character of their choice. The romance feature is the number one most requested update by fans.
“Our players are so deeply invested and immersed in their actions within the game that we’re not at all surprised just how well this social feature has performed,” says Sarah Wolf, Game Director at Jam City. “We’re constantly interacting with our player base and receive countless emails and messages from them asking to make dating a permanent feature, so we just had to deliver!”
As part of this update, the romance feature will now include “relationship levels” driven by points earned through gameplay. Once enough points have been accrued, players will advance through various “relationship milestones” that trigger subsequent side quests and activities. New and exciting date locations will unlock based on relationship levels. And as so in real life, players also have the ability to go “exclusive” with their love interest, or “break up” if they aren’t feeling the sparks.
In addition to the dating feature rollout, beginning today, players who have progressed to Year 5, Chapter 9 can experience a Valentine’s Day-themed time-limited side quest event sure to tug at the heartstrings. Students of Hogwarts are thrilled when Professor Dumbledore announces a big Valentine’s Day dance. However, under the organization of Madam Pince, the dance is at risk of being the most boring event of the year with no food or decorations! It is up to the players to make this dance a memorable night for everyone, and to perhaps plant a seed of love between Madam Pince and Mr. Filch.
From February 5, 11 a.m (PST) to February 8, 11 a.m (PST), witches and wizards can now prepare to take on their first set of new adversaries, Gilderoy Lockhart and Slytherin’s Basilisk! Players level 15 and above can engage with these new characters by keeping an eye out for the following:
– Increased sightings of Gilderoy Lockhart and Slytherin’s Basilisk Adversaries
– Increased spawns of Wit-Sharpening Potion ingredients, such as Armadillo Bile, Ginger Root, Ground Scarab Beetles and Newt Spleen
– Master Notes will reduce all variants of Exstimulo and Wit-Sharpening Potions brew time by 50%
Players must note that to participate safely, this event has been adjusted to facilitate playing from any location. Please remember to adhere to local rules and regulations, and be respectful of others and your surroundings.
Starting tomorrow and running through Christmas Day, mobile game Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is having a Christmas countdown event!
Beginning December 18, the Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery Christmas Countdown kicks off for an eight-day extravaganza. This cheerful campaign will treat fans to social media giveaways and in-game prizes such as notebooks, Christmas sweaters and decor, as well as coins and energy. Players will also be able to enjoy Quidditch, House Pride and Duelling events.
In a new time-limited sidequest, players who have progressed to Year 3 Chapter 4 find that their hopes to relax at Hogwarts during the holiday break don’t go according to plan after Charlie Weasley is injured and enlists your help to repay a debt. Along with discovering Professor Snape’s plans for the break, Hagrid and Charlie help create a unique Boxing Day surprise.
