The presentation ofHogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy landed a few jaws this week. However, questions remain about this unprecedented adventure in the Harry Potter universe.
The State of Play was an opportunity to admire 14 minutes of gameplay on PS5 and Warner Bros. Games then shared some interesting information regarding Hogwarts Legacy. Already, we have learned that a Nintendo Switch version will see the light of day. But the publisher also wanted to clarify an important point that raised some concerns after the footage was released.
A solo game, but connected?
Indeed, when a potion is concocted by our student, it takes several minutes before being ready for use. This stopwatch, which seems to approximate a duration of 25 minutes, could suggest that microtransactions could shorten the waiting time. But it won't! On Twitter, Avalanche community manager Chandler Wood indicated that Hogwarts Legacy will not have microtransactions.
On the other hand, if we are to believe the cover of the game put online by Amazon, players must be connected to the internet to play Hogwarts Legacy. The mention is only present on the Xbox version and not on the Switch edition. The latter could then be devoid of the hypothetical online functionalities. It's also not impossible that it was a mistake since Warner Bros. Games has not officially stated that the game will require an always-on connection.
