High-profile Harry Potter game holiday 2022 release, and now a delay into the first quarter of 2023.

"The team is excited for you to play, but we need a little more time to deliver the best possible game experience," said an announcement posted to the Hogwarts Legacy Twitter.  A second statement, delivered by Avalanche Software community manager Chandler Wood, was also posted to Twitter. "You may be disappointed that the game's been pushed out of 2022," said Wood, "but we're excited to finally give you a release date you can look forward to."

We've kept up with Hogwarts Legacy's development from its earliest days as a skeptically-eyed leak through to announcement in 2019. You can find more about Hogwarts Legacy everything we know about Hogwarts Legacy if you don't want to fish around the net for details. (Which is weird, I guess, since you usually use a net for the entire act of fishing.)

Hogwarts Legacy has had a long, eventful development history. Publicly, that kicked off in 2018, when later resigned.
