The Hogwarts Legacy video game, which was developed by Portkey Games and Avalanche Software and is already available for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, will be available for the Nintendo Switch on July 25. However, according to a recent press release from Warner Bros. Games, the game has sold over 15 million copies since it was released for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in February of last year.
Additionally, it was revealed by the publisher that the open-world action RPG made $1 billion in revenue from sales all around the world. The most recent significant achievement took place on February 23 and included the achievement of over 12 million sales and an income of $850 million in the first two weeks after introduction. Arien Darby, the senior brand and marketing manager at WB Games, said on LinkedIn that the company’s actual sell-through figures were 256 percent higher than the projections the company had made.
In the video game Hogwarts Legacy, which takes place one hundred years before the events of the Harry Potter books, players attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as fifth-year students. They are able to make use of old magic, but they need to get a deeper understanding of it in order to defeat Dark Wizards led by Victor Rookwood and renegade goblins led by Ranrok.
