Avalanche Software announced Tuesday that the PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch ports of Hogwarts Legacy have seen a delay.
Hogwarts Legacy is now coming out on Apr. 4, 2023, for PS4 and Xbox One, while the Nintendo Switch port releases a bit later on July 24, 2023. There are no details regarding the delay yet, though Avalanche Software loosely suggested the extra development time would lead to a better product.
“The team is looking forward to bringing you the game, and we want to deliver the best possible game experience across all platforms,” reads a tweet from the Hogwarts Legacy account.
The official FAQ notes that there’ll be no early access window on PS4 and Xbox One.
Thankfully, the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC versions are still on track for a Feb. 10, 2023, release. Initially, the current-gen iterations were coming out this fall, but those also received multiple launch window shifts.
If the last few trailers are any indication, there’s still loads of hype for Hogwarts Legacy. Some longtime fans aren’t happy about the lack of playable Quidditch and the expensive Collectors Edition, but the prospect of an open-world RPG set within the wizarding world has plenty of people excited nonetheless.
