Take a tour of Hogwarts in Hogwarts Legacy

The developers behind Hogwarts Legacy have shared a lengthy, in-depth look at the game. Although the books paint a pretty good mental picture of what Hogwarts looks like, it’s still subjective to the reader on how they envision that.

The team at Avalanche Software provided a lengthy demo of Hogwarts Legacy during a recent livestream. While it doesn’t show every nook and cranny of the school, it makes it clear that it’s a massive place to explore with all kinds of wonderful details. The school’s windows change depending on the season, players can see the house points in the halls, find side quests and puzzles, and much more.

Nevertheless, the world Avalanche has created seems very lively as dynamic events randomly happened during the stream, kids on brooms flew overhead, and much more.
