And going by what the State of Play event showed few days back, Hogwarts Legacy is confirmed to offer the option of using Broomsticks. In fact, as per the official FAQ of the game, Broom flight will be available in the game. Players will be able to use it as a way of traveling while also participating in the broom races.

For mastering the Broomsticks skills, Hogwarts Legacy players will also get the option to take Flying classes.

Now arises the main question: Will Quidditch be related in any way with the broomsticks?

Given the description of the equipment in the FAQ, especially regarding broom races, there seems to be a certainty. Yes, it’s not official yet but the game may end up surprising the players eventually. This will be a great thing that will only make them more hyped to dive deeper into the mesmerizing world of Hogwarts Legacy.

But then there is the situation of the game being set in the 1800s. It takes place way before Harry Potter’s timeline and all the series of events revolving around him.

So, in case the makers have decided, there could be a scenario of Quidditch being completely absent from the game. Because it will show the beginning of the school and its various traditions.
