An Original RPG Set in the 1800s Wizarding World
Set in the 1800s, Hogwarts Legacy delivers an original narrative within the Wizarding World, placing players in the role of a fifth-year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Critical and Commercial Momentum Continues
Since release, Hogwarts Legacy has been widely praised for its immersive open world, attention to Wizarding World lore, and accessible RPG systems. Its sustained sales performance reflects strong word-of-mouth support and continued interest across regions and platforms.
The game’s success also reinforces Portkey Games’ mission to create Wizarding World experiences that put players at the center of their own stories, rather than retelling existing narratives.
Developed by Avalanche Software
