Hogwarts Legacy Delayed on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One
The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Hogwarts Legacy have been delayed again to April 4, while the Nintendo Switch version will launch on July 25.
The game's official Twitter account posted the update (alongside the Switch date reveal, below) but didn't give a reason as to why the last-generation version had been delayed. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of Hogwarts Legacy are unaffected and will launch as planned on February 10.
"The team is looking forward to bringing you the game and we want to deliver the best possible game experience across all platforms," the tweet said.
Hogwarts Legacy will launch on April 4, 2023 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and on July 25, 2023 for Nintendo Switch. The team is looking forward to bringing you the game and we want to deliver the best possible game experience across all platforms.
This marks the second delay for Hogwarts Legacy as it was originally expected to launch during the holiday period this year, before being pushed back to the February date.
Developer Avalanche Software has been slowly but surely sharing different elements of the game, showing off its Hogsmeade quest, flying broom sections, and the dark magic at Hogwarts.
One of the biggest talking points surrounding Hogwarts Legacy is in its connection to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who has sparked controversy in recent years over her transphobic comments. Warner Bros. has said the author isn't directly involved in the game but its leadership said "she's entitled to express her personal opinion".
