Will Quidditch be available in Hogwarts Legacy?

sportskeeda.com:

With less than two weeks until the official launch of Hogwarts Legacy, players are looking forward to experiencing the upcoming action RPG (role-playing game) with bated breath. The massive open-world title is the most ambitious entry among the Wizarding World's video game renditions yet. As such, for many fans, the offering is a sort of culmination of everything that has come before.

From spell casting and learning to sandbox exploration, many elements that fans have come to expect because of previous video game entries in the Harry Potter series are available in the upcoming title. But what about Quidditch? This exhilarating sport that involves flying broomsticks is enjoyed by many witches and wizards. With it being a big part of the Wizarding World's movies and books, fans wonder if they will get to enjoy the activity in Avalanche Software's upcoming project.

Unfortunately, the iconic sport will not be making it into the game. As per the official Hogwarts Legacy FAQ page on the title's website, the developers have confirmed that the Golden Snitch-catching, Quaffle-passing activity won't be part of the title. This is disappointing, as most previous Harry Potter games included it, such as The Deathly Hallows parts 1 and 2. Even developer Traveller's Tales' LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and 5-7 games featured it.

However, this decision is understandable, considering Hogwarts Legacy is the biggest game to date that is associated with the Wizarding World. Boasting a massive, detailed open world to explore, rich dialog, many side missions, and more, it aims to deliver a somewhat robust RPG experience.

So, taking the game's scale and scope into account, it is not hard to see why the team at Avalanche Software made this decision.
