WB Games Avalanche recently revealed the second gameplay showcase for Hogwarts Legacy. This time, the clip provided a deeper look at the flight mechanics, open world, combat with Dark Arts, Room of Requirement, and more. There's a lot to unpack in the half-an-hour video, and players are more excited than ever to set foot in the wizarding world.

Developed by WB Games Avalanche, Hogwarts Legacy is a wizarding world RPG set in the iconic universe of Harry Potter but in 1890, which is 100 years before the beloved trio. Players will play as newly-admitted fifth-year students at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

While the first gameplay showcase predominantly focuses more on the insides of the famous magical castle, the second one shifts the view to the world outside and then some more.

From the very beginning of the second gameplay showcase, it is evident that the world beyond Hogwarts Castle is detailed and gorgeous. Players quickly saw the in-game character whipping a broom and traversing the space atop it.

Brooms can be upgraded throughout the game by visiting the Broom shop in Hogsmeade. Along with upgrades, players can also get cosmetic changes. Staying close to the ground has its advantages, while players can soar higher in the skies with some negatives incurred.

The in-game character drops down to a magical hamlet. These locations are filled with wizards who live there, and players can learn about their relations with Hogsmeade and Hogwarts. There are also quests and gameplay features that players can participate in.

Hogwarts Legacy also got to see the summoning of the Onyx Hippogriff mount. The creature can trot the ground if players choose to, but Potterheads will surely want to emulate Harry Potter on
