Hogwarts Legacy saw a series of delays since the first glimpse of the game came out in 2018. The trailer announcement came out in 2020 and finally, the release date announcement came out. The Twitter announcement stated:
“The team is looking forward to bringing you the game and we want to deliver the best possible game experience across all platforms.”
It was earlier anticipated that the game will release during the 2022 holiday season. An August 2022 announcement pushed back the date to 2023. During that announcement, it was mentioned that the release date for Switch will be declared later. However, this news was disheartening for Xbox One and PS4 users.
