A VR mod is currently in the works for Hogwarts Legacy, the open-world role-playing game set in the Wizarding World developed by Avalanche Software, promising to bring an unprecedented level of immersion.
Exploring Hogwarts and its surroundings in VR looks like a dream come true for any fan of the Wizarding Word, as showcased by a video shared on YouTube by Flat2VR, thanks to the great attention to detail developer Avalanche Software put into its game. While the mod seems to work decently enough already, it still needs some work, and a release window for it has yet to be confirmed.
While Hogwarts Legacy doesn’t manage to move past some of the trappings of modern open-world games, it seems to have managed to capture the feel of the Harry Potter world quite well, as highlighted by Chris in his review in progress.
In terms of story, Hogwarts Legacy also manages to capture the magical feel of Harry Potter. It does it successfully by being set a good century before the events of the novels. We’ll meet a few Weasleys, even a gaunt, to name a few. The only known characters from the other formats you’ll know are the ghosts of Hogwarts, with you crossing with Peeves, chatting with Nearly-Headless Nick (if you’re Gryffindor, I assume other houses will be different) and other longer-term fixtures. Fortunately, and as far as I am, the game manages to forge its path incredibly well, adding in a few canonical elements, such as ancient magic. I’m not at the end, so if it is canon, I’m curious how they explain away the lack of ancient magic in later stories.
Hogwarts Legacy launches on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on February 10th. Owners of the Deluxe Edition, however, can get access to the game right now. The open-world game by Avalanche Software will release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on April 4th and on Nintendo Switch on July 25th.
