Developer Avalanche confirms that the staple wizarding sport won’t appear in Hogwarts Legacy.
Upcoming Harry Potter RPG Hogwarts Legacy won’t feature quidditch, but will still let you fly around on a broomstick.
The fictional fantasy sport has been a staple of the Harry Potter franchise since the first novel, and fans have been eagerly waiting to see whether it would appear in Hogwarts Legacy. A new FAQ post (opens in new tab) on the game’s website confirms players won’t get to try their hand at the sport when the game releases next year.
“Quidditch is not playable in Hogwarts Legacy,” the FAQ page says. “However, broom flight for traversal and broom race challenges are part of the game. Players can also fly brooms to explore new and familiar locations surrounding Hogwarts Castle.”
Quidditch has long been a fan-favorite part of the Harry Potter universe, even inspiring a real-life sport that imitates the magical game.
