“They’re definitely in the bug fixing/polishing stage at this point. Just a matter of how quickly they can get everything in the state they want it for the release.” RetroRaconteur added.

While PlayStation and Avalanche Software have reiterated the release window of Holiday 2022 several times by now, a delay isn’t really impossible. This is especially because Hogwarts Legacy has previously suffered a delay.
