Update (09/02/2022) – GS

While Hogwarts Legacy has been delayed yet again, arriving only next year, Avalanche Software and WB Games continue to share new details and previews of the game.

During GamesCom, we had a trailer for the game that highlighted some of the forbidden magic and the Dark Arts, but this week, we had confirmation that the title will not feature Quidditch matches, the popular sport of the wizarding world.

As revealed in an updated response form on the game’s website, while players can fly on broomsticks, they will not be able to participate in Quidditch matches.

Quidditch is not playable in Hogwarts Legacy. However, broom flying and broom racing are part of the game. Players will also fly around on broomsticks to explore new and old places around Hogwarts castle.

This left some fans disappointed, who had hoped to be able to participate in the sport’s matches in the game, which is described as an essential aspect of the wizarding world in the Harry Potter films and books.

Interestingly, Quidditch had already briefly appeared in the game’s first trailer, which showed a Hogwarts student with what appeared to be the sport’s equipment.

Do you think the absence of Quidditch is a downside to the game?
