Over on Twitter, a community manager on the game, Chandler Wood, confirmed that the team has seen the question coming up following the reveal of the aforementioned footage. To this end, Wood has confirmed there are no microtransactions in the game. Could this change after launch? Wood doesn’t say. An increasing number of games have launched with no microtransactions only to add them after reviews have gone live. That said, for now, there’s no reason to expect Hogwarts Legacy to go this route, especially as a single-player game.
Below, you can check out the tweet for yourself:
While it remains to be seen if Hogwarts Legacy will live up to the hype it’s slowly building, Harry Potter fans can find peace of mind knowing microtransactions will not get in the way or spoil the experience.
Hogwarts Legacy is in development for the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. It’s currently slated to release sometime this holiday season, which is to say, sometime between October and December.
“Hogwarts Legacy is an immersive, open-world action RPG set in the world first introduced in the Harry Potter books,” reads an official pitch for the game. “Embark on a journey through familiar and new locations as you explore and discover fantastic beasts, customize your character and craft potions, master spell casting, upgrade talents, and become the wizard you want to be. Experience Hogwarts in the 1800s. Your character is a student who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart. Discover the feeling of living at Hogwarts as you make allies, battle Dark wizards, and ultimately decide the fate of the wizarding world. Your legacy is what you make of it. Live the Unwritten.”
