Hogwarts Legacy's gameplay is rich, allowing players to create their own character, customize their appearance, and choose the type of magic they wish to learn.
The vast open world offers exploration of iconic locations in and around Hogwarts, including wizarding classrooms, secret areas, and the village of Hogsmeade.
Players can master various magical abilities, brew potions, and capture fantastical creatures.
The combat system is designed to be exciting, with dynamic wizard-to-wizard combat mechanics, complete with unique combos and puzzles.
Every decision players make will impact the story's progression and the game's ending.
