#HOGWARTS LEGACY PS5 RELEASE DATE UPDATE#

We’ll update you with more details on the game as they’re confirmed. A safer expectation was always 12, which is how things turned out. However, the lifelike graphics and darker threat elements made this a little less relevant. It was just about possible that Hogwarts Legacy could have been given an age rating under a 12. The most recent Harry Potter is the Lego collection, which is rated 7 and above. There is no sign of this for the open world witchcraft and wizardry release, but with the darker spells they’ve both got the same certification.

But then even there melee attacks with Sora’s Keyblade were a big part of the combat mechanics. Perhaps a better comparison would be with Kingdom Hearts 3, which also has an age rating of 12. This had a 16 certificate, but with a guns and melee style of play compared to Hogwarts Legacy’s reliance on wand magic to fight, which could be one of the reasons why the age rating is lower, despite the fact that you can perform the Avada Kedavra killing spell. It’s a 3rd person action adventure, so it was already easy to compare it to the likes of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. The ESRB equivalent in North America is T for Teen, which recommends 13 years of age and over, so sort of comparible.

With the release date done, we that the Hogwarts Legacy age rating in the UK from PEGI is a 12+ certificate. A native Hogwarts Legacy could struggle on the Switch, which is shy Pokemon Scarlet and Violet got so much criticism recently. Other big titles like Control, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey have had cloud releases. But you don’t usually get triple A games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla or Far Cry 6, so it’ll be interesting to see how the release performs. Open world games run on the Nintendo Switch with The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild as a good example. We’ll keep you posted here at Tuppence as more details come out. There’s no mention of it being cloud-based, so it’s possible the delay is to give developers Avalanche Studios enough time to get the port right for the less powerful consoles. Prior to the recent confirmation, the latest details referred to it being soon, but it turns out to be a fairly chunky 5 and a half month wait.Īs things stand, it looks like the Nintendo Switch version of the game will be a straight release. Hogwarts Legacy will come out for the Nintendo console on the 25th July 2023. It’s even later for Switch gamers, but at least we have a release date finally to aim for.
