Hogwarts Legacy is one of this year's most highly anticipated games - it's also one of the more controversial releases in recent years. Because of the game's inevitable association to the author, J.K. Rowling, there've been calls from certain communities to cancel and boycott Hogwarts Legacy. Now, for its latest round of issues, Warner Bros. Games is canceling pre-orders of the game out of the blue.

Several gamers took to Twitter over the past few days after receiving messages about their canceled pre-orders. Most assumed this was a bug, but Warner Bros. Games reassured in its replies that this isn't a glitch.

According to its replies, the cancellation is the result of the delay of the release of the Xbox One and PS4 versions of Hogwarts Legacy as well as that of the Nintendo Switch.

It's worth noting that Warner Bros. Games changed the release date of Hogwarts Legacy on last-gen consoles. The PS4 and Xbox One versions won't be available until April 4 while the Switch port isn't coming until July 25.
