Finally! Hogwarts Legacy is on its way!

Hogwarts Legacy is an open RPG game that gives players all the freedom in the world to explore the magical land of Hogwarts. Players can also create their own Witch or Wizard, learn some super cool magic spells, and get a thrilling chance to explore the areas beyond the prestigious magical school that can be a little dangerous for Hogwarts students.
