Hogwarts Legacy Clip Shows Magical Beast Interaction

4.3

A new clip from Hogwarts Legacy has been released, showing that players can claim magical creatures and care for them within Hogwarts. Hogwarts Legacy is coming in February 2023, and it will allow fans to explore Hogwarts roughly 100 years before the events of the Harry Potter series. Within the grounds of the castle, players will be able to find and care for magical creatures from both Harry Potter and the Fantastic Beasts franchises. These creatures will have various uses and abilities in-game.

The developers of Hogwarts Legacy have teased content recently, showcasing Dark Arts Arenas, house Common Rooms, and, of course, magical beasts. Taming beasts in the title will be important for exploration and will help gamers as they seek to gain materials and experience from the open world.

A recent video posted to the Hogwarts Legacy Twitter account shows a player entertaining one of the title's many magical creatures. The post points out that fans will also be able to brush and feed their pets within a new place called the Vivarium. The Vivarium is an environment within the Room of Requirement where players can craft items, customize their surroundings, and store the creatures that they find in Hogwarts Legacy's massive open world. Some of these creatures, like hippogriffs, can even be ridden and used to travel around the grounds of Hogwarts.

The most recent Hogwarts Legacy gameplay showcase has also shed light upon other features that will appear in the title. Players will practice defensive spells, meet new characters, accept quests found throughout the open world, and more. Fans will be able to explore Hogwarts Legacy using brooms, though these will be limited to hovering until players decide to purchase more expensive models. Fantastic beasts can solve this problem while providing additional protection for players as they explore Hogwarts Legacy.

Indeed, collecting creatures in Hogwarts Legacy will be important for players who want to seriously explore the new title. These creatures will be unique, fun, and adorable, allowing gamers to more easily immerse themselves in the title. And, though some fans have been worried about supporting this new Harry Potter project, Hogwarts Legacy has shown that it will be inclusive and meaningful for all players. Hopefully, fans will also be greeted with an emotionally impactful story and a vibrant open world. If that is the case, Hogwarts Legacy will likely be proven a successful addition to the Harry Potter universe.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Legacy will be released on February 10 for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
