Hogwarts Legacy is free on Epic Games and you don’t want to miss it
It’s not every day you get a really good, full-price game from Epic Games for free. But now it’s finally starting again, because for one week only you can get Hogwarts Legacy for free. The open-world role-playing game is based on the Harry Potter franchise and is a fantastic experience that no fan should miss.
What’s Inside Hogwarts Legacy
Hogwarts Legacy was developed by Avalanche Software and released in February 2023, so it’s not even three years old. If you haven’t played it yet, now is the best opportunity to do so without having to pay a cent.
What makes the game special is above all its universe. The developers have managed to recreate the school of magic known in films and books in such a way that it becomes an impressive setting that invites you to explore it.
As a new wizard student, you will learn about different houses and lessons, discover many secrets in hidden rooms or complete tasks in which you encounter magical creatures or dangerous adversaries. The fights are fun but not very difficult and are also suitable for beginners.
You can also explore Hogwarts, either on foot, on a broom or on the back of a majestic hippogriff. During the story (which actually takes place several years before the books), we discover a dark secret and learn various spells that we can use either in combat or to solve puzzles.
Is Hogwarts Legacy Worth It?
Nearly three years later, Hogwarts Legacy is still a fantastic game. Metacritic gave the title a very good rating of 83 points on PC (85 on Playstation 5). Since then, some bugs present in the final version have been fixed and a few free updates have added modding, for example.
A sequel has already been confirmed, so at some point we will have a second installment of Hogwarts Legacy. Until then, it’s worth at least taking a look at the first installment and experiencing for yourself what it would be like to be a part of the wizarding world.
How to get the free game
Simply log in to the Epic Games Store with an account in December 18 and add Hogwarts Legacy to your cart. There is no additional cost to purchase and the game will be added to your library. You can keep it afterwards and continue playing it even after the free period expires.
