Hogwarts Legacy may not have a solid release date beyond its XNUMX window, but recent reports suggest that Warner Bros. Games and developer Avalanche Software could be targeting September.
In recent weeks, industry specialist AccountNGT has suggested in tweets that the game is looking to hit a September XNUMX release date. Now, the Rowling Library has announced that the game is getting a companion art book titled "The Art and Making of Hogwarts Legacy" later this month, adding fuel to that gossip.
Published by Insight Editions, The Rowling Library asserts that the current scheduled release date for the book is September XNUMX, adding: "Although unconfirmed, this release date may be related to the gameplay video release date, which is still unknown.
AccountNGT, for its part, tweeted the new one to say that "a release date of September 1 seems little by little more likely." AccountNGT's September estimate also fits a release window offered by another prominent source, Tom Henderson, who asserted in a recent YouTube video that "Warner Bros. is now ready to find out more about Hogwarts Legacy, which is expected that it comes out in the third or fourth quarter of two thousand and twenty-two.”

Since September 1 is known to Harry Potter fans as "Return to Hogwarts" (it's the day Hogwarts students return to school), this would make sense as a release date for the game. confirmed by Warner Bros. Games or avalanche software.
The only recent official news we've had on this front in recent weeks has been Warner Bros. Games reaffirming the game's fairly long XNUMX release window then gossip of a possible XNUMX delay.
While a September release is enticing for fans of the series, it's worth taking these things in stride until such time as they're officially confirmed, particularly since delays aren't truly uncommon right now.
Upon release, Hogwarts Legacy will be playable on PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
Analysis: More news soon?
So while we still don't know precisely when we'll be able to play Hogwarts Legacy, Warner Bros. and Avalanche Software have reaffirmed that it's going to be in XNUMX. Being in the second month of this year already, that means it seems pretty reasonable to assume that we'll start learning more about the game soon.
In late XNUMX, Avalanche Software tweeted to say it was "excited to share more Hogwarts Legacy news and updates next year," but gave no further details.
When the game was first announced in September XNUMX at a PS event, it was supposed to be released in XNUMX. However, earlier this year a delay was announced pushing the game up to XNUMX. Since then, we've heard very little about the game, with Warner Bros only very strongly confirming that it's going to be an "immersive open-world RPG" set on the magical planet of the XNUMXs, with players stepping into the shoes of a Hogwarts student "who holds the key to an old secret that threatens to destroy the wizarding planet."
With partially little to do, the next Hogwarts Legacy update is likely to be highly anticipated by those eagerly awaiting the game's release.
