Hogwarts Legacy Gameplay Showcase II Coming December 14th

We had to wait a long while, but we’re finally getting some closer looks at Hogwarts Legacy, the open-world RPG set in the Harry Potter universe. Last month saw us getting a tour of Hogwarts Castle in the first Gameplay Showcase — this Wednesday, December 14th, at 10AMPT, we’ll get another peek at the game with Gameplay Showcase II.

Based on the brief video included in the announcement, it appears we’ll get to see some of the game’s world outside the castle; we’ve long suspected there are plenty of places to explore beyond the castle itself, and we might get more details on that come Wednesday. A combat encounter with a troll(?) and an encounter with a magical beast also feature in the trailer, so here’s hoping we learn more about how your character will be able to interact with the fantastic beasts of Hogwarts Legacy.

In addition to community manager Chandler Wood, this showcase is set to feature game director Alan Tew, systems designer Mekenzy Toner, as well as community guest host Ben Snow. It’s always interesting when showcases zoom out for big picture ideas, then zoom in with fiddly bits and pieces; with any luck, the combination of guests in the upcoming showcase will allow them to do both.

What are you most excited about in Hogwarts Legacy? What do you hope they show off in the next gameplay showcase? Let us know in the comments!
