This upcoming action RPG by Avalanche Studios won’t feature any annoying microtransactions while playing. One of the biggest complaints in the present-day gaming scene is microtransactions. Many games prompt players to buy specific items to continue the quest. The majority of the time, players need to spend real-life currency to continue the game.

Players would be able to get hands-on exclusive items based on the version of the game. But that doesn’t mean it would prompt the players to buy other versions to get specific items. Players can happily enjoy the version they bought and play without any interruptions.

Multi-platform support

Games like God of War: Ragnarok is extremely famous in the gaming community, but what makes it disappointing is that only PlayStation players can enjoy them. But that might not be the case with this one, as Hogwarts Legacy would be playable on various platforms like PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and even Nintendo.

Players on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC would get to enjoy this wizarding game on February 10. But those on PlayStation4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch might have to wait a bit longer to enjoy this. This could also lead to a multiplayer mode, although it isn’t the case yet.

The legendary Room of Requirement

Remember the fifth movie or novel, Order of Phoenix, where Harry Potter and his friends were suffering under the tyranny of Dolores Umbridge? So the ‘boy who lived’ started teaching his friends the famous Patronus Charm. But everyone remembers the place where he taught them, the Room of Requirements.

The Room of Requirement is a magical place in the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that only appears to those who need it and contains what the person desire. This magical room would feature in the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy, where players might be able to design the room according to their liking and even keep their Magical Beasts there.

Combat as fluid as water

An action RPG game feels amazing when it features combat as fluid as water. Because a game feels irritating to play if it has blocky gameplay, especially the combat. However, players would have the best combat experience with Hogwarts Legacy. The gameplay teaser of the game has revealed that it would feature a fluid combat mechanic.

In this game, the player can learn 20 spells and four of which can be assigned to four sloths to use easily during combat. After all, when a player would be attacked by dangerous magical beasts and dark wizards, they would need an easy and fluid combat system to fight the evil.

An amazing storyline for the players to shape

Hogwarts Legacy features an original storyline based on the wizarding world. This game would be set a century before the events of the novels and movies. It would revolve around a fifth-year Hogwarts student who would have to fight evil forces like goblin rebellion and dark wizards.

Although the game has the framework for the main storyline, players would be the ones to give the final shape to this framework. They would be free to choose the sidequests and how to shape their in-game character. If players want, they can also try to become a dark wizard, like Voldemort.
