Why is Hogwarts Legacy the most awaited game for Harry Potter fans, explained

The fact that Hogwarts Legacy is one of the most anticipated games of recent times is well established by now. The upcoming wizarding world RPG, which is being developed by WB Games Avalanche, set tongues wagging even before the reveal trailer dropped in 2020 when a small section of its gameplay was leaked to the public, only exacerbating the community's excitement further.

Until now, Harry Potter fans, or Potterheads as they are affectionately known, have merely experienced games that tied into the movie or book counterparts and did not grant players the freedom they so desired. And this is exactly where Hogwarts Legacy sets itself apart. The developers have promised a fully fleshed-out RPG that will provide an immersive experience of the wizarding world like never before.

The world is not only populated with colorful characters, magical hamlets, and threats, but also many of the fantastic beasts that fans have grown accustomed to seeing in the various offerings of the Potterverse. The gameplay trailer also provided a glimpse at the possibility of casting an Unforgivable Curse.

Fans have been busy ever since, speculating and discussing different things from the books that they want to be part of the game. Speaking about Hogwarts Legacy's story, the official website describes it as follows:

"Players will experience life as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1800s as they embark on a dangerous journey to uncover a hidden truth of the wizarding world.
