Avalanche Studios’ Hogwarts Legacy may have been delayed, but that doesn’t mean we can’t keep getting more reveals for the game now.
Just in, we have a new trailer showcasing character Sebastian Sallow, and it looks like he’ll be the player’s introduction into the Dark Arts:
Here’s the official description for Sallow’s Dark Legacy:
Should you choose to befriend Slytherin student Sebastian Sallow, you will be faced with the decision to embrace or reject the Dark Arts as you uncover his family’s mystery through his companion quest line.
Will you choose to learn this dark magic?
Focusing on one of Hogwarts Legacy’s optional companion quest lines with Sebastian Sallow, the Dark Legacy trailer provides a glimpse at the forbidden curses and difficult dilemmas players will face as they learn more about the Sallow family’s mystery and decide whether to engage with, or even embrace, the dark arts.
It’s kind of stereotypical that a Slytherin student would be the one to introduce you to the Dark Arts, but I think that this Sallow character could be the main antagonist of the game. Then again, I’m just guessing. We’ll just have to wait and see until the release.
I guess it’s also worth noting that pre-orders are also launching for Hogwarts Legacy later this month, and fans can secure their copy on Aug. 25. Pre-ordering the deluxe edition will also get you the Dark Arts Pack that includes some Dark Arts cosmetics as well as a Thestral mount.
Hogwarts Legacy is set to launch on Feb. 10, 2023 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. No release date has been announced for the Nintendo Switch version.
