Avalanche Software’s Hogwarts Legacy had its second gameplay showcase, highlighting various mechanics. It started with flying, with the player using a broom to get around and later a mount. There are activities and side quests to discover in the world, along with wild creatures. Check it out below.
The Dark Arts Arena is showcased, which sees the player using various preset Dark Arts to combat enemies. You can unleash Avada Kedavra to instantly slay an enemy, though it has a long cooldown, and other curses allow for linking opponents together, so they share the damage inflicted. If nothing else, it’s a place to try out the Dark Arts in case you want to traverse that path.
The Room of Requirement is a major gameplay mechanic and serves as a customizable home for the player. They can place various structures to brew potions, tend to plants, identify different gear pieces, and use a loom to upgrade gear. You can also assign traits that provide an edge in combat.
Of course, you can also customize statues and decorations in the room. There’s even a massive field where creatures can be taken care of and fed as you reorganize massive structures, trees, and much more.
Hogwarts Legacy is out on February 10th, 2023, for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, having recently gone gold. It launches on April 4th for PS4 and Xbox One, followed by the Nintendo Switch version on July 25th.
