Description:
Today's Sony State of Play is a first look at Hogwarts Legacy.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Tonight's Sony State of Play is about to kick off and it's a dedicated look
at Hogwarts Legacy, the Harry Potter RPG that Warner Bros. has been working
on for years. After years of rumors, the developer finally released a reveal trailer back in 2020 but since then we've heard little about how the game
will play, let alone seen it in action.

Tonight's State of Play will be the first time we see Hogwarts Legacy in action and it should also be an opportunity to get a real sense of how the Harry Potter RPG will play.

Of course, Hogwarts Legacy is not without controversy . The author of the Harry Potter books, JK Rowling, has been accused of making transphobic statements in recent years. Fans of the series and the game are being left to decide whether they feel comfortable buying a game that will see some of its profits going to the author.

Hopefully the State of Play will address the ways the developer hopes to be inclusive for players.

And we're off!

The stream begins with an introduction to the character creator and sorting system. You will be shuffled into one of the houses based off your answers to the hat's questions and each house will offer a different path through the school.

Unusually, you won't be starting the school in first year, but jumping straight into fifth.

Interestingly, Hogwarts Legacy isn't set in the modern day, like the Harry Potter books. You'll be a student in the 1800s, which is why none of the professors you know from the books will feature in the game. Though, some of the ghosts will be familiar - with Nearly Headless Nick making an appearance.
