Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world action RPG set in the 1800s at and around Hogwarts. Avalanche Studios, the firm behind Disney Infinity, is developing it, and it includes broomstick riding, missions with choices, and the opportunity to choose your Hogwarts house – everything a Harry Potter fan could desire.
Players will take a variety of classes, ride magnificent beasts, and even wander outside the school grounds into Hogsmeade Village. However, there is one condition that will impact players' expectations of these features that they will not be able to experience, at least not directly.
What is Hogwarts Legacy about?
Hogwarts Legacy is set in the 1800s at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. That's about 200 years before Harry Potter was born as well as more than a century before Grindelwald's reign of terror, so don't expect to see many recognized movie faces. In Hogwarts Legacy, players will take on the role of a Hogwarts student with the capacity to discern and summon old magic.
Because of your unique abilities, you were admitted to the prestigious wizarding school late, as a 5th year pupil in the year 1890.
Will Hogwarts Legacy have multiplayer?
The game is a single-player experience with no multiplayer or co-op components, according to a FAQ on the official Hogwarts Legacy website. It's also unlikely that multiplayer will be added as a game update, as it frequently involves difficult technical challenges that must be considered from the start.
The game's emphasis on character choices and an in-depth plot may also clash with a multiplayer experience, but this is far from impossible to reconcile. However, none of these limits out multiplayer for a hypothetical sequel.
Will there be co-op in Hogwarts Legacy?
There is no co-op multiplayer in Hogwarts Legacy. In fact, there is no multiplayer at all. For better or worse, this means you'll only be able to play solitary. Gamers will just be unable to experience the world of Hogwarts alongside other human gamers. Having said that, your character will not be alone. The game will still allow players to interact with other pupils in-game.
Those buddies will follow you on your quest and help you uncover fresh details. The key distinction here is that partners are not controlled by the player. Instead, your teammates and all other characters you meet will be NPCs.
