Developed by Avalanche Software, Hogwarts Legacy allows you to be the center of your own adventure. Unlike previous games in the franchise, this story takes place a century before Harry Potter was born, providing a fresh perspective on the lore. Following its massive success, the game received a significant Summer 2024 update that brought the previously PlayStation-exclusive "Haunted Hogsmeade Shop" quest to all platforms, along with a new Photo Mode and talent reset features. As of May 2026, the game has also debuted on the Nintendo Switch 2 (June 2025), offering enhanced visuals and performance for handheld players.
