The highly anticipated game, Hogwarts Legacy, has finally arrived for current-gen gaming systems, with releases for last-gen consoles and the Nintendo Switch expected later in the year. However, those who opted for the Deluxe Edition got early access starting February 7, and the game is already a massive hit. In fact, it has become Twitch's most popular game at the moment.
Developed by Avalanche Software, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Hogwarts Legacy is set in the magical world of Harry Potter, but during the 1800s. Players take on the role of a fifth-year transfer student with a knack for ancient magic and must use their skills to stop a rising goblin rebellion. As the game is set in the 1800s, you won't cross paths with Harry and friends, but instead, you create your own witch or wizard and explore various open-world activities like brewing potions and harvesting plants.
You also have the option of learning unforgivable curses, if you desire to be a "bad" wizard, though the game won't judge you for using them. Nevertheless, as an open-world RPG in the Harry Potter universe, the game's popularity was inevitable, regardless of any in-game or community judgement.
