‘Wands at the ready’ according to Sony as they announce an all-new State of Play broadcast event for Hogwarts Legacy, the new Harry Potter-inspired fantasy game for PlayStation. It’s been two years since the game was officially unveiled, and now, finally, the time to once more roam the halls of the iconic school of witchcraft and wizardry is upon us.
‘Wands at the ready for an all-new State of Play focused on Hogwarts Legacy, featuring an extended first look at gameplay this Thursday, March 17 at 2 PM PT.’
Sony went on to say that the trailer for the new game attached to the post has already had well over 28 million views since its initial reveal over on PlayStation’s official YouTube channel. According to Sony, the Hogwarts Legacy State of Play event will include no less than 14 minutes of dedicated gameplay. This is sure to whet fans’ appetites as well as entice any newcomers to the Harry Potter fantasy world to give the game a try when it releases. Sony also mentioned that the project is something they’ve been looking forward to greatly:
‘This is an incredible moment we’ve been building towards. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on.‘
After the reveal, set to take place on Thursday, March 17 at 2 PM Pacific Time, Sony has said they will publish a post on PlayStation’s official blog to bring the events of the live stream into context and provide further information on the upcoming game. We have not as yet received any new information as to when the game will officially release worldwide. There is, however, a rather prominent rumor that the game won’t be in stores until the theatrical release of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore next month.
We’ll keep you updated as far as possible as to the launch of the game and this week’s State of Play live stream. Want to play Harry Potter games on your smartphone? Check out our news on Harry Potter: Magic Awakened heading to mobile.
