Hogwarts Legacy: Huge new side quest revealed

Hogwarts Legacy is one of the most anticipated games of the year.

The new wizarding game is set to release on February 10th, 2023, and is poised to come to PS5, Xbox Series X/S as well as the last generation set of consoles.

The new game will give players the opportunity to live out their wizarding dreams next year as they step into the corridors and great hall of Hogwarts.

There will be no Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, or Hermione Granger to interact with because the game is set in the 1800s.

And we’re getting more and more glimpses of what fans can expect from the upcoming release.

Indeed, a huge dump of information was revealed across the past week, as Avalanche Games gave players a real look into Hogwarts, and revealed some of the features that are coming.

The Back to Hogwarts featurette that was released earlier this week has shown off some of the features that we can expect.

Fans have been given a look inside the common rooms in the game, with Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw all represented. The latter two have never before been seen in any form of Harry Potter media and were not in the films, but they have been brought to life within Hogwarts Legacy.

We also have confirmation that fans will be able to link their Harry Potter fan club account, meaning their houses and wands will carry over; you won’t be at the mercy of the sorting hat!

And we’ve now learned that there is a theme park easter egg, too.

One of the side quests revealed showed castle ruins, the same ruins that are seen in the ‘Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure” ride at Universal Orlando Resort’s Islands of Adventure, as per Gematsu.

That suggests that Avalanche have taken inspiration from a number of Harry Potter sources
