Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment Pushes Back Hogwarts Legacy Release to February 2023

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has confirmed that the release of Hogwarts Legacy will now take place on February 10, 2023. Initially, the game was set to launch in 2021, but it was later rescheduled for 2022. The development team has expressed enthusiasm for the game's upcoming release, stating, "We require a bit more time to provide the best possible gaming experience." The game's announcement has been marred by controversy due to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling's public stance on anti-trans issues. In 2020, WBIE president David Haddad addressed the matter during a company Q&A session, acknowledging Rowling's right to express her personal opinions on social media, while also distancing himself from her views.
