Hogwarts Legacy Receives a PEGI Rating

This upcoming Harry Potter game will be darker than initially envisionedĀ 
by Joe Wilcock on June 28, 2022   



Harry Potter fans the world over rejoiced at the announcement of Hogwarts Legacy. Finally, an authentic wizarding experience untethered by the movies. Originally announced back in 2020 at a PlayStation event, it had plans to release in 2021. However, in January 2021 news broke that the game would be delayed until 2022. 

Silence shrouded the project until March 17th when it took centre stage at a Sony State of Play. Suffice it to say, the event was impressive with Hogwarts Legacy showing off its breadth of content and scale. It looked pretty far along in development too so all fans can do now is wait patiently and hope that there aren’t any more delays. 
 


As Hogwarts Legacy enters its final 6 months of development, PEGI has awarded it an age rating indicating that production is almost complete. The European game rating comity deemed it necessary to give Hogwarts Legacy a 16 rating, which by their standard is given when “the depiction of violence (or sexual activity) reaches a stage that looks the same as would be expected in real life. The use of bad language in games with a PEGI 16 rating can be more extreme, while the use of tobacco, alcohol or illegal drugs can also be present.”

Now don’t be expecting a visit to Knockturn Alley’s brothel or to be brewing up intoxicating potions. Even though 16 is the second-highest rating, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it contains harmful or offensive content. Other games such as Star Wars: Fallen Order, both Marvel’s Spider-Man and Miles Morales, Marvel’s Avengers and Horizon Forbidden West all received a 16 rating, none of which can be considered to be particularly mature. 
 


Hogwarts Legacy is expected to release “holiday 2022” for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch and PC.
