Hogwarts Legacy art book and gameplay leak details inventory, characters, locations, and more

sportskeeda.com:

With Hogwarts Legacy set to arrive on modern consoles and PCs next month, it was only a matter of time before leaks started going public. On that note, an art book and a handful of gameplay details have been leaked ahead of the title's launch.

The former showcases new artwork, character information, and even a look at the inventory UI. The latter, meanwhile, sheds light on features that the final product will supposedly have.

The Hogwarts Legacy art book gives fans a look at concept art for different locales and characters in the game.

Some known locations make an appearance, like the Grand Staircase's array of portraits and shifting staircases or the Great Hall's holiday aesthetic during the Christmas season.

As for characters, we see new professors for the first time ever due to the fact that Hogwarts Legacy takes place a hundred years before the Harry Potter books.

The art book also includes a first-time look at the in-game character inventory screen. It details the player's House, name, amount of money on hand, and stats (which are split into Health, Offense, and Defense).

Since the title is an RPG, equipment matters, and it seems like outfits are split into various segments like headwear, neckwear, and outfits. Players can also seemingly customize their broom, mount, and wand. Besides the Character screen, there are other tabs: Inventory, Talents (for skills progression), Quests, Owl Post, Map, Field Guide, and Settings.

Players are also able to explore the great outdoors. This doesn't just include the quaint town of Hogsmeade but also the mysterious Forest. Even the Herbology classroom has been expanded over previous media renditions. Additionally, a map is included, highlighting the topography of the open world
