Live: Hogwarts Legacy reveal - first look at Harry Potter RPG gameplay

If you don't have time to watch the full State of Play, Warner Bros has released a cut down version focusing on just the action of Hogwarts Legacy.

You can see that below:

It really does look like a magical open-world game. While you will be leaving the school at times, it feels rare that you have so much attention paid to a single location. I know everything gets compared to Dark Souls these days, but is Hogwarts Legacy going to the Lordran of Harry Potter games?

(No, Julian, obviously not, that's the pressure of the live blog getting to you.)

While we were expecting Warner Bros would announce a specific release date, the publisher wasn't quite as exact as we were hoping. Instead, the State of Play's main segment ended simply saying that it would be released in 'Holiday 2022'. Will that be as late as December or is September still on the cards? After all, International Literacy Day is right there on September 8 — what better way to mark the occasion than with a massive Harry Potter game?

As a fifth year student you'll be catching up with your classmates, and for that you'll be using the Room of Requirement. In the books this space changes to fit the needs of whoever walks through its doors, becoming a training room for Dumbledore's Army (or a bathroom for a wizard caught short late at night). 

In Hogwarts Legacy it becomes a room where you can install equipment that lets you unlock and upgrade your abilities, leveling up your power. As you grow stronger you'll unlock and improve your spells for combat, but also learn skills that let you reach new areas of the school and areas beyond.
