Game News Hogwarts Legacy: the universe of Harry Potter would be turned upside down by this major event
Despite being released in a big month, the game set in the Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy universe remains fairly opaque in terms of content and events. Something partly due to the period in which the title takes place since it is in 1890 that the game begins. What to expect at the mention of this competition.
Summary
- Hogwarts Legacy: 100 years before Harry Potter
- The 70th edition of the potion contest
Hogwarts Legacy: 100 years before Harry Potter
It is one of the most anticipated games of the start of 2023: Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy is the most desired title on the Steam platform and was named one of the most anticipated games of 2023 at Game Awards (he lost to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which promises a very interesting duel to follow). It is scheduled for February 10 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series and crystallizes the hopes of fans of JK Rowling’s universe to finally see a video game adaptation that does it justice.
As a reminder, Hogwarts Legacy does not settle in the era of the protagonists of books like Harry Potter, Hermione Granger or Ron Weasley. It’s 100 years before the story takes place, and more exactly on September 01, 1890: it’s the day of the start of the school year, where the player embodies a fifth year student, that the game will begin. The plot revolves, in the foreground, around the revolt of the goblins and the supposed affinity of our hero with ancient magic. A predisposition which one supposes will attract a lot of covetousness and around which the magical heritage of the Hogwarts school will take shape.
The 70th edition of the potion contest
Hogwarts Legacy therefore includes new events related to the period of the game, but we should also see activities well known to fans of the world of Harry Potter. If the Quidditch is one of the great absentees from the gamewe can count on the fact that the developers of Avalanche Software will integrate the themes of Christmas or even Halloween… but also competitions concerning several schools of magic not appearing in the books: this is for example the case of the Wizarding Schools Potions Championship.
A competition that only appears in the game Wonderbook: Book of Potions where students must prove their talent at concocting different potions. If nothing has been formalized concerning the presence of this test in the game, we nevertheless know that alchemy will be at the heart of our student life. What to link it with this contest of which it would be the seventieth edition in Hogwarts Legacy. Definitive answer as of February 10, with the release of the game on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
