Players can use the Dark Arts, making them become dark wizards to some degree in Hogwarts Legacy.

Hogwarts Legacy, developed by Avalanche Studio, is an RPG set within the universe of Harry Potter. However, the game takes place a century before the events of the book and films. The player character has to live the life of a student in Hogwarts, completing tasks, learning in classes, and using new spells in the massive open world that lets you explore Hogwarts and its surrounding areas.

The Dark Side of Hogwarts

Hogwarts Legacy is going to behold the dark side of the wizarding world. From the gameplay released by Avalanche Studio, it has been made clear that dark wizards will serve as the antagonists in Hogwarts Legacy. Hogwarts doesn't have a clear past, as Salazar Slytherin's influence has often resulted in students discovering terrible secrets or items of power that drive them toward darkness. There are several places in the library of Hogwarts which behold the secrets and information about Dark Arts that could corrupt the students.

How will the gameplay proceed as a Dark Wizard?

In Hogwarts Legacy, an evil witch or wizard can have a school life similar to Draco's. Rather than relying on magical strength to develop an empire, players at Hogwarts can establish a network built on social dominance. A bad character in Hogwarts Legacy might intimidate other students into submission or obedience by threatening them with the Dark Arts and earning specific tools or resources through this type of networking and extortion. A Dark player character might govern at least a piece of Hogwarts in Hogwarts Legacy, much like Draco did with the support of many cronies, even if they can't try to take over the Wizarding World.

Can you actually become a Villain in the game?

No, you can't actually become a villain in the game. The player of Hogwarts Legacy is meant to be the protagonist, so the chances of them becoming actual villains are nonexistent. After all, that protagonist is still meant to be the story's hero. From the trailer of Hogwarts Legacy, it is clear that players will contend with dark wizards, whether the protagonist is good or not. This means that the main antagonists of Hogwarts Legacy will be dark witches or wizards. So if the main character were to be even more malicious than the villains themselves, it would be meaningless.
