New Harry Potter game Hogwarts Legacy announced for PS5
Harry Potter gets another prequel - this time in 4K.
A new open-world video game set in the world of Harry Potter was unveiled during the PS5 Spotlight event.
Titled Hogwarts Legacy, the action-RPG sees you take on the role of a Hogwarts student in the late 1800s as you learn spells, brew potions, and fight fantastic beasts.
Hogwarts Legacy promises to let you take control of your wizarding adventure like never before, including creating your own character and making decisions that could impact the entire wizarding world. You'll also be able to explore locations outside of the iconic magical school, including Hogsmeade, the Forbidden Forest, and more.
