Nintendo Switch players will soon be able to get their hands on Hogwarts Legacy on November 14, and a trailer for the Switch version has been released. The footage comes after months of the game being delayed while PlayStation, Xbox, and PC players got to experience their time at Hogwarts. The trailer showcases many cutscenes from the game that feature main characters, action sequences, and mysteries for players to explore in Hogwarts Legacy.
Hogwarts Legacy comes from developer Avalanche Software and Warner Bros. Games. The teams aimed to release the open-world title on several major platforms for both the previous and current generations. PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC players received their invitations to Hogwarts Castle in a combined release on February 10. Months later on May 5, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players joined the current generation of platforms after a couple of delays. While many Twitch players streamed their experiences in Hogwarts Legacy around its initial release, Switch users were left on the sidelines while Avalanche Software worked to port the game over to the Nintendo platform.
As Hogwarts Legacy for the Nintendo Switch climbs closer to its release date of November 14, Switch players can check out the first official trailer for the version. The trailer, known as "Magic Awaits," brings Switch owners up to speed with Hogwarts Legacy's narrative. Told entirely through cutscenes, the footage features appearances from numerous characters that players will interact with. Such faces include the Ranrok, Eleazar Fig, Dinah Hecat, Victor Rookwood, and a couple of others. The trailer provides a basic outline of the story's good vs. Evil elements that ultimately involve the player and the many Hogwarts Legacy characters that roam Hogwarts Castle and beyond.
The delays for the Nintendo Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy are apparent in the trailer, with noticeable improvements in the game's graphical nature. It's intriguing to see what the final results will be, though some players have already noted that their expectations had been surpassed after viewing the Magic Awaits footage on YouTube. While performance expectations are tentative, there has been a wave of leaks concerning the Nintendo Switch gameplay for Hogwarts Legacy where graphical downgrades have been noted.
Regardless of how the Switch version performs for Nintendo players, Hogwarts Legacy is finally launching onto its final planned platform. Switch users can choose between the standard or Deluxe edition of the game when it becomes available on November 14. Looking ahead, PC, Xbox, and Switch players can look forward to potentially exploring the PlayStation-exclusive quest, Mind Your Own Business, once a certain deal between PlayStation and Warner Bros. Interactive comes to an end.
