Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Avalanche Software kicked off January 13, 2021 with a Hogwarts Legacy delay announcement on Twitter. The game, which would act as a prequel to the Harry Potter series and allow people to attend an 1800s Hogwarts, will not appear in 2021 as planned. The new release window is 2022.

There was no explanation offered for the Hogwarts Legacy delay. Rather, the message only cited a desire to offer players the best possible experience. Here is the full statement.

We would like to thank fans from around the world on the tremendous reaction to the announcement of Hogwarts Legacy from our Portkey Games label. Creating the best possible experience for all of the Wizarding World and gaming fans is paramount to us, so we are giving the game the time it needs.

Hogwarts Legacy will be released in 2022.

This Harry Potter world RPG was rumored for quite some time before appearing during a PS5 showcase in September 2020. Since then, the official Twitter has shared brief video clips and screenshots, but there haven’t been any major announcements. The last video clip, which was shared back in November 2020, looked at an in-game duel.

Revealed at the September 16th Playstation 5 Showcase event, Hogwarts Legacy is a new open-world role-playing game set in the Wizarding World universe of the Harry Potter books and films.

Here's the Harry Potter RPG's first official trailer:

Due out in 2021, Hogwarts Legacy's existence was originally leaked as far back as 2018 with leaked footage from the in-development build. At the time, Bloomberg reported on anxiety building over the backlash surrounding comments by Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling, and its effects on the game's developers.

Now the game was announced officially. It is being developed by Portkey Games, alongside Avalanche and Warner Bros. Interactive.

The game will reportedly feature Hogwarts itself and the surrounding environs. Notably, the trailer did not show any named characters from existing Harry Potter works, implying a new, original adventure. Masked foes and various fantastic beasts are also on offer. Given the timeframe, it appears to be a prequel.

Hogwarts Legacy is due out in 2021, for PS5. Though no other platforms were explicitly announced, previous reports place it in line for release on Xbox Series X as well.
