Hogwarts Legacy
"Hogwarts Legacy" is a video game released in 2023 where players take on the role of a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Set a hundred years before the events of the Harry Potter books, players learn magical abilities and go on a quest to uncover a hidden secret in the wizarding world.
The game was developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Games under the Portkey Games label. It's part of the Wizarding World franchise but doesn't involve the main Harry Potter characters. Development started in 2018, and the game was released in stages for different platforms.
Before its release, the game faced controversy due to J.K. Rowling's views and accusations of including offensive elements. However, it still received a lot of attention and became highly popular. It sold millions of copies within weeks, earning over $1 billion in revenue by May 2023 and reaching 24 million copies sold by early 2024.
Critics generally liked the game for its combat, world design, characters, and content variety but noted some technical issues and a lack of innovation. It also received award nominations for its music and game design.
