Hogwarts Legacy
Hogwarts Legacy is not set during the years Harry Potter and his friends roamed the halls of Hogwarts. Instead, it is set in the 1800s and you take on the role of a student who has the capacity to control a very ancient form of magic. Add the fact that there is a war brewing between goblins and other non-magic users and you can already tell you are in for a lot of action.
The game is an open-world, single-player RPG and since you are taking the role of a student in Hogwarts, you do get to take classes and learn a number of spells as well as potions. You also get to customize your character to your liking, including picking the gender, voice and the Hogwarts House you belong to.
The GameSpot report also mentions that a small part of the Hogwarts castle itself is customizable. However, the report does not mention what part of the castle it is. What it does mention is that "there won't be microtransactions."
When Will Hogwarts Legacy be Released?
Excited to play the game? Well, you are going to have to wait for a few more months.

In fact, the exact release date is now February 10, 2023, according to a report by The Verge. It should be noted that this release date only applies to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC versions of the game.
