Hogwarts Legacy has been developed by Avalanche Software and published by WB and is set to release on 10th February 2023, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. The PS4 and XBox One release for the game is set for April 2023 while Nintendo Switch release will take place in July 2023. In the past week there have been a lot of leaks for Hogwarts Legacy including characters details, almost all of the artbook and what not. Today we have for you a compilation of all those major leaks so read forward with caution! The segments will progress as Map and Artbook Leaks, then Playtime, and then the plot leaks. So, you can manage you read accordingly.
Hogwarts Legacy World Map and Artbook Leaks!
As of today, almost all of the artbook has been leaked and the image above consists of the maps players will be able to explore in the game. The first map you can see is of the Hogwarts Castle and you can make out that there are some minor changes in the map from the books and movies. However, these changes look good and hopefully Hogwarts Castle itself will hold a lot of places and rooms to explore. Moving on, the second image is an early rendition of the full map of the game and as per new information the actual map has been reduced by 1/3rd.
Finally we have the map for the major playable areas which include the castle, Black Lake, The Forbidden Forest, and Hogsmeade. So, basically all the major areas of Hogwarts will be explorable however, there might be more areas to explore whose map hasn’t been leaked yet. All these leaks are a part of the art book, pages of which, have been leaking constantly since a few days. If you want to check out all these leaks then click on this drive link or explore r/HarryPotterGame. Now let us move on to the playtime and plot leaks.
How Long Will It Take to Beat Hogwarts Legacy?
As per latest leaks, the story length for Hogwarts Legacy while focusing on the main objectives on normal difficulty will be around 35 hours. Now I know it is less than expected but its a hell lot more than most similarly priced games out there. Also the 100% completion for Hogwarts Legacy, will take around 70 hours, which again, is a bit less than expected. Of course this is the leaked playtime and not the official reported time. You might remember God of War: Ragnarok’s early playtime was leaked to be 18-20 hours, however, it ended up taking between 25-30 hours. So, similarly you expect Hogwarts Legacy to be 4-5 hours less or more. Anyways, how long it takes to beat mostly depends on your playstyle, skills, difficulty mode, and understanding of the game. Good news is that if you really wanna explore the game and see it’s every aspect it offers you 70-80 hours of gameplay.
