The team at Portkey games has opened the castle gates and welcomed a bunch of gaming outlets and content creators in, to take a look at its upcoming Harry Potter game: Hogwarts Legacy.
The result is a lot of early impressions of the upcoming open world action RPG, and we mean a lot. We've thrown the IGN 'Final Preview' video up above for you to take a look at, and if that's not enough, a handy NeoGAF thread nicely rounds up all of the video previews spotted so far.
We've taken a glimpse at a few of these, including IGN's preview, and this game is looking impressive... Siriusly impressive, one might say. The combat in particular looks really good fun, and the attention to detail shown from the developer here will surely please Potter fans.
If you'd rather have a gander at some early impressions in written form, the folks over at GamesRadar have put out a pretty in-depth written preview, and we've dropped the outlet's conclusion down below:
"Hogwarts Legacy is a genuine delight to explore, and I can't wait to be truly let loose to discover all of its secrets come February 10 [...] While there's still unanswered questions about the direction the narrative will take – with its teases of ancient magic and goblin rebellions – this has been a promising first look at an ambitious action-RPG. Honestly, only being allowed an hour of so with Hogwarts Legacy seems like an almost Unforgivable Curse-level offense."

Hogwarts Legacy does not exist in a vacuum. There are important discussions being had about the views and opinions held by the creator of the Harry Potter universe – views and opinions which we do not agree with.
Our goal is to create and foster a positive environment for people – all people – to discuss and celebrate video games, not to amplify ignorance or provide a forum for unconstructive arguments. As per our community rules, we do not accept any form of hate speech on our platform.
Bring it on!!!! Can't wait to play this!
...
Come on, that pun is terrible, even by my standards, hahaha.
Okay, it was so bad it was funny, I can't deny it.
I pre-ordered it and I'm counting the days before release! It's been a LOOONG time since I've been this excited about a video game. Expecto Patronum!
@SplooshDmg Same here fella. My Wife hasn't played xbox since AC Syndicate, but as soon as this was announced, I knew I'd be buying it. Just to get some time myself, I've just bought an XSX and the deluxe digital version of the game so we can (hopefully) play on both consoles at the same time.
Removed - unconstructive
Gotta beat Forspoken and beat Goldeneye for the 1000th time before this… and make a shot at FE Engage too, but let’s be real… everything will be dropped for this one on 2/4
Seriously guys? You’re just proving my point. I’m disappointed.
It looks better and better every time they show footage of it can't wait.
If there wasn't PlayStation exclusive content, I would be buying day one. It is crazy that Xbox gamers pay the same price for less content.
Preordered two copies (one for my girlfriend) and was happy to do so. If you boycott every piece of media in which someone involved has views you disagree with... you'd boycott pretty much everything.
Can’t wait to play this! And no, I don’t give a **** about Rowling’s personal views on gender politics.
Not a potter fan myself but for those that are it looks like you're getting a really polished game. Usually franchise tie-ins are quick janky cash grabs. With luck this does well and sets the bar for developers as to what fans of movies and books expect from games.
Still no Nintendo switch footage?
@SplooshDmg LOL. Damn them! HAHAH
Can’t wait to try this and I am not even a Potter fan.
not gonna be the best wizard game of 2023. Definitely not the best ever.
ps get it used.
