Hogwarts Legacy is one of the most anticipated titles set to release this year, but alongside other major releases like God of War Ragnarok, it is currently the only major title without a release date. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora was another highly anticipated holiday title, but Ubisoft recently announced it was being delayed. With the time between now and the holiday season dwindling, some fans have been understandably worried about a potential delay for Hogwarts Legacy.

However, it seems Warner Bros. Interactive and Avalanche Software are full steam ahead for Hogwarts Legacy's release. A recent leak seemingly specifies its release date as December 6, which is believable for a number of reasons.

Over on Amazon, Hogwarts Legacy has had a December 31, 2022, placeholder release window in place. This is commonplace ahead of any official announcements, and while that remains true as of this writing, Hogwarts Legacy's art book, titled The Art and Making of Hogwarts Legacy: Exploring the Unwritten Wizarding World, has an updated release window (as seemingly first reported by VGC). This date was changed from December 31 to December 6, a Tuesday, as reported by customers who pre-ordered the art book at Amazon UK. Not only would this change be odd if it were still a placeholder date, but placeholder dates often fall at the end of a month or quarter. Furthermore, most video game releases come out on a Tuesday or a Friday, lining this up perfectly as the date.

Of course, merch like an art book does not always release the same day as a game, but it's not all too common that it releases before either. The real kicker here for December 6 being Hogwarts Legacy's release date is actually Gotham Knights. The other WB game already has a release date and its art book releases on the same day as the game. In other words, it would not be surprising for Warner Bros to be repeating the same tactic here. This update would also suggest that a release date update was coming in soon, as the developer and/or publisher would have likely communicated this date to the online retailer ahead of time.

Hogwarts Legacy getting a release date announcement any day now would be an exciting development. This isn't the only suggestion this could happen either. Recently, information regarding Hogwarts Legacy's Collector's Edition content leaked online. All of this suggests that not only is a release date reveal imminent, but there is no planned delay for the game, at least as of now.

Hogwarts Legacy is set to release in holiday 2022 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
