AccNGT, who leaked images for Quantic Dream’s Star Wars Eclipse before its official announcement and also reported on Grand Theft Auto 6’s rumored “chaotic” development, tweeted about how “things got moving” for Hogwarts Legacy today. “I’m expecting the trailer very soon.” How soon is unknown (perhaps at the rumored upcoming PlayStation event) but perhaps it will offer our first real look at gameplay along with providing an official release window.

Hogwarts Legacy is currently slated for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, and PC. It’s been fairly controversial since the initial reveal due primarily to the views of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling but WB Games and Portkey Games confirmed that she’s not directly involved in development. Take that for what you will and stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

Sumo Digital has been involved with a number of high profile games throughout the years, including Sackboy: A Big Adventure and the recent Forza Horizon 5 (though it also developed the underwhelming Hood: Outlaws and Legends). Sumo Nottingham was set up in 2016 while Red Kite Games was acquired in 2019. The latter was a work-for-hire studio that provided services to various game companies.

As for Hogwarts Legacy, it’s currently in development for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and PC. Slated for release next year, Warner Bros. has suggested that it could release sometime after April 2022. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
