When was the Hogwarts Legacy Switch release date?
The Hogwarts Legacy Nintendo Switch release date arrived on July 25, 2023. Unfortunately, there’s no mobile release date, and it’s unlikely it will ever come to your phone.
What is the Hogwarts Legacy story?
You’re a new student at the titular school, however, the interesting thing is that you’re a fifth-year pupil. This is a rare thing indeed as 99% of Hogwarts students begin at a younger age in the first year. Still, we say better late than never to the acceptance letter.
Throughout the game, you get to attend Hogwarts Legacy classes, explore the school grounds, and visit neighboring locations. Of course, this is an RPG, so you can expect to make some crucial decisions, such as which house you belong to. For us, it’s a no-brainer. Slytherin is the place to be.
Is there a Hogwarts Legacy trailer?

Hogwarts Legacy has drawn considerable criticism during its development, largely due to the fact that the creator of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling, has made a number of transphobic remarks on social media in recent years.
While Avalanche has confirmed that J.K. Rowling is not “directly involved” in the development of Hogwarts Legacy, it is working with “her team” and Portkey Games, a Warner Bros. label dedicated to launching new experiences inspired by J.K. Rowling’s original stories. It is currently unclear whether she will earn any royalties from the game’s sale, but it is likely given it is based on her original body of work.
