Hogwarts Legacy: The Harry Potter game also on Nintendo Switch? Clues breed doubt

Gaming News Hogwarts Legacy: The Harry Potter game also on Nintendo Switch? Clues breed doubt

Hogwarts everywhere in your hands?

That is confusing. Since its announcement Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy never stated it would come to Switch, with the only consoles stated always being PS5 (on which last night’s gameplay was recorded), PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC. When you see the ambition of the open world and the quality of the finish, you understand why Avalanche Software focuses on the most powerful machines.

And yet, recently The title’s official website features a Nintendo Switch logo at the bottom of the page, proudly displayed alongside those of the Sony and Microsoft consoles. Is this a discrete confirmation or a genuine error? Can the little beast of Big N only run Hogwarts Legacy, or would it be a “cloud version” (and therefore runs via servers over the internet)? Along with this, a Switch cover was also seen on Amazon… Suffice it to say that a much more concrete formalization would be desirable.

A Harry Potter game without Harry Potter

If Hogwarts Legacy is so expected, it’s not only because of its attractive open-world promises, but also because it will tell an entirely new story in the Harry Potter universe. In reality, our bespectacled wizard will not be the hero and most of the familiar faces from the movies or books will not be present as the action will take place at the end of the 19th century!

We’ll then step into the shoes of a Hogwarts student, previously created using a character editor, who will face the terrible menace of goblins determined to make their revolution. You can also explore the school, its mysteries and its external surroundings with complete freedom, on foot, on a broomstick or on the back of a griffin: in short, the possibilities are more than tempting.
