Update: Another clue suggests Hogwarts Legacy is on track for a 2022 launch.
In a blog post published yesterday on Wizarding World (opens in new tab), the official online home of the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts franchises, the upcoming RPG is listed in a rundown of “highlights to look forward to […] in 2022.”
Alongside the next Fantastic Beasts movie launching in April and a discussion of the 25th anniversary of the first Harry Potter book in June, the post also states pretty definitively that “the Hogwarts Legacy video game will be arriving this year,” stating that “2022 is also the year when the highly anticipated console game […] is set to be released,” echoing launch schedule rumours that have been circling over recent days.
Original story: Hogwarts Legacy will reportedly still launch in 2022, with a delay only possible due to the games launching around it.
These new claims come from leaker AccNGT, who has a track record of accurately reporting on information relating to WB’s new wizard game. Hogwarts Legacy is still on track for a 2022 release date, according to the leaker, who adds that the only thing that could potentially delay the new game is the caliber of games launching around it, and not the actual development process.

This is all pretty compelling evidence that Hogwarts Legacy is still on track for a 2022 release date. You might recall that Hogwarts Legacy was previously delayed out of launching last year in 2021, and while the developer at WB has promised to share more information surrounding the game over the coming year, rumors are already swirling that Sony could be lining up a State of Play presentation for next month in February to focus on WB’s new game. For now though, we’ll have to wait and see what the next few weeks bring.
