Next: Everything We Learned In Hogwarts Legacy's Gameplay PreviewĮditor’s Note: Harry Potter creator J.K. As more details come to light, hopefully the true scale of the map of Hogwarts Legacy will be made apparent. The full extent of what that means isn't entirely clear yet, but the game's footage has already promised that there will be plenty of space to roam and many activities and items to find while searching, be that in the form of combat or puzzles.

Given Hogwarts Legacy requires players to balance multiple game mechanics such as ingredient gathering, combat, and creature taming, it's little surprise Avalanche Studios has opted to go big in terms of scale. Even more minor priorities like finding gear and crafting potions will serve to make the most incidental locales worth investigating, however.

This could also be true of more story-heavy locations like areas that Professor Fig may escort the player to through the duration of the game's primary storyline. Instead, Hogwarts Legacy might require a separate loading screen to journey there. For example, urban sprawls like Hogwarts Legacy's version of Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley were excluded, and some have speculated that this is because they aren't a part of the game's open-world area. Several other confirmed areas of Hogwarts Legacy weren't featured on the map, potentially indicating that the total size of the game is as of yet unknown.

Exploring Hogwarts is one thing, but the primary storyline also seems to involve the game's protagonist journeying far beyond the walls of the Castle, working with Hogwarts Legacy's returning Harry Potter characters as well as newly-introduced ones like Professor Fig to uncover the truth behind the mounting Goblin Rebellion.
