The game is set in the late 1800s, before the events of the Harry Potter series, and allows players to create their own character and attend Hogwarts as a student. Players can choose their own house, attend classes, explore the school grounds, and learn magic spells.
The game promises a vast open world to explore, with various locations outside of Hogwarts such as Hogsmeade Village and the Forbidden Forest. Players can also interact with other characters, including iconic figures from the Harry Potter series such as Albus Dumbledore and Hagrid.
The game has been highly anticipated by fans of the Harry Potter franchise, and the trailer released in 2020 received positive feedback. However, there has been some controversy surrounding the game’s development, including concerns over transphobic comments made by author J.K. Rowling, who is not directly involved with the game’s production.
