Hogwarts Legacy is an action-packed, open-world RPG set in the 1800s wizarding world. As a fifth-year student, players will embark on an adventure through both new and familiar locations, discover magical beasts, craft potions, master spell-casting, upgrade talents, and customize their character to become the ultimate witch or wizard. The game will launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day as the console's release, June 5.
