Hogwarts Legacy Release Date Delayed - What to Expect

Fans of the upcoming open-world RPG Hogwarts Legacy have been eagerly awaiting its release, and unfortunately, it seems that the wait will be a bit longer for some platforms. According to the game's FAQ page, the release date has been delayed, with new launch dates announced for PS4 and Xbox One.

For those who purchased the Standard or Deluxe edition of the game, you'll still get access on April 4. However, current-gen console and PC players will gain 72 hours of early access with their purchase of the Deluxe Edition. Unfortunately, this is not the case for past-gen users, including PS4 and Xbox One players.

This recent delay is not a new phenomenon, as Hogwarts Legacy has already experienced one deflating delay that pushed its original release date from late 2022 to early 2023. Fans who are eagerly awaiting the game's launch on Nintendo Switch will have to wait even longer, with the release date set for July 25th, 2023.

The game was officially announced in September 2020 and initially slated for a 2021 release. However, developers pushed it back, citing a need for more time to deliver the best possible experience across all platforms. The team at Avalanche Software Studio expressed gratitude for the overwhelming response from fans around the globe and assured that they are working hard to meet their promise.

In a statement on the official Hogwarts Legacy Discord channel, the development team wrote, 'Hogwarts Legacy Console's Release Date is Delayed!' with no further details provided. Fans are left wondering what this delay means for the game's future DLC plans, which have been speculated about online.

Despite this setback, fans of the game can take comfort in knowing that the team at Avalanche Software Studio is committed to delivering a top-notch experience on all platforms. The new release date for PS4 and Xbox One players has been set for May 5th, 2023.

In the meantime, those who have already gained access to the game are likely busy exploring its vast open world and immersing themselves in its magical universe. As fans continue to await the game's full release, they can take solace in knowing that the team is working hard to bring them the best possible experience.
