Sony finally confirms the Hogwarts Legacy State of Play

Now that Sony is scheduled to hold a showcase centered on the open-world Harry Potter title, the game is in a good position to come out in September, as leaked earlier this year.

As per WB Games Avalanche's community manager, the Hogwarts Legacy State of Play event will run for 20 minutes, including 14 minutes of gameplay footage on the PS5. The presentation will start at 2:00 PM PT / 5:00 PM ET / 10:00 PM CET.

The most interesting part about the upcoming State of Play is that it's the first time Sony will hold one specifically for a third-party game - and a non-PlayStation exclusive at that. Because of this, some are speculating that Sony will announce that it has secured timed-exclusivity over Hogwarts Legacy, which wouldn't be entirely surprising. Hogwarts Legacy is a big game that could sell millions of units.

By making Hogwarts Legacy exclusive to the PS5, even if it's only for a limited time, Sony can give itself another exclusive to go with God of War: Ragnarok later this year. These two should be enough to give Microsoft some competition as Sony's biggest rival prepares to release exclusives like Redfall and Starfield.

At the very least, audiences should at least find out when Hogwarts Legacy will be launched on Thursday. Speaking of, Gotham Knights, another one of Warner Bros.' upcoming titles for this year, will come out on October 25. All that's left now is for the publisher to confirm if it's true that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be delayed to 2023 or not.
