There’s good news and bad news on the Hogwarts Legacy front. The good news is developer Avalanche Software has finally announced a firm release date for the highly-anticipated adventure. The bad news is the game has now joined the long list of blockbuster titles abandoning 2022. While the game was originally set to launch in holiday 2022, it will now launch on 10 February 2023.
A three-month delay isn’t so bad, at the very least. Those on Switch will have to wait a little bit longer – no release date has been announced for this console port – but everyone else now has a better idea of when the game will finally arrive.
‘The team is excited for you to play, but we need a little more time to deliver the best possible game experience,’ Avalanche Software announced on Twitter. Going forward, the team will focus on polishing out the game’s rough edges in time for its newly dated release.
