You Can Choose Your House

Hogwarts Legacy allows players to choose their Hogwarts House at the beginning of the game. Players will be able to choose from Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff to experience life as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Quidditch Will Not Be Playable

As confirmed on the official FAQ page, Quidditch will not be playable in Hogwarts Legacy. This announcement comes as somewhat of a disappointment to fans of the popular witch and wizard sport who noticed a Quidditch player appearing momentarily in the PlayStation State of Play trailer.

While the popular wizarding sport won't be part of the game, players will still be able to ride broomsticks as this has been confirmed to be one of the ways of getting around the game.

There Will Be No Online Multiplayer

Portkey Games officially confirmed in their official FAQs that Hogwarts Legacy will be a single player game and will not have an online or co-op gameplay.

While this may be the case for now, there is a slim chance that the game will eventually have a multiplayer mode since it is highly anticipated by many, and most fans are frequently asking the same questions about multiplayer and co-op modes.
