Hogwarts Legacy fans can check out a new 4K launch trailer ahead of its scheduled release next week. Hogwarts Legacy comes out on February 10 on PC and current-gen consoles, but gamers who purchase the digital deluxe edition can start playing from February 7. It’s also scheduled to launch on previous generation consoles as well as the Switch, but some versions of the game were recently delayed, and they will launch later in 2023.
Players can find a ton of gameplay footage and interesting new details about Hogwarts Legacy online, from both official sources and through leaks. As an example, the narrative director of the game confirmed that Hogwarts Legacy will feature over 100 non-linear side quests, allowing users to shape how their character interacts with the world. Now, Hogwarts Legacy has released a new launch trailer in 4K just a few days before its release.
Launch trailers generally give players glimpses of the gameplay mechanics while setting up the story, and the new trailer for Hogwarts Legacy continues that trend. The video begins by showing the main playable character of Hogwarts Legacy attending various classes and meeting some of the characters they will spend time with during these sessions. Things quickly take a turn, as the Hogwarts Legacy trailer shows players fighting different types of magical creatures and utilizing a wide variety of spells to overcome their foes.
The trailer features some breathtaking visuals and exciting boss fights, as players explore the fantastical and mysterious locations present in the world of Hogwarts Legacy. Fans will find brief instances of combat scattered throughout the video, but most of it is focused on introducing the story to players while giving them a look at some of the levels and set pieces. While this new trailer gives players an overview of what they can expect from Hogwarts Legacy, there are probably plenty of surprises in store for fans of Harry Potter.
Users should note that early copies of Hogwarts Legacy were reportedly sent before its official launch, so gamers should be wary of spoilers floating online. A few details from Hogwarts Legacy, such as the overall length of the main story and time required for 100% completion, along with an early look at the world map, have already leaked online via an art book. However, users with full copies of the game may be able to share spoilers related to important plot details, such as the ending of Hogwarts Legacy, before its official release.
Hogwarts Legacy launches February 10 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, with PS4 and Xbox One versions coming April 4 and the Switch version launching on July 25.
