New HOGWARTS LEGACY Details Revealed Including Why You Can't Play Quidditch And How Long It Takes To Complete

With Hogwarts Legacy now available to play (if you own a PlayStation 5, at least), we're sharing some key details with you, including how long it takes to beat and why exactly Quidditch is off-limits.

If you own a PlayStation 5, chances are you've already clocked in a fair few hours on Hogwarts Legacy. However, we know many of you have big questions about the Wizarding World game, including why Quidditch isn't part of a title that sets out to recreate the experience of attending the same school that Harry Potter will one day call home. 

While you are able to fly on a broom to explore Hogwarts Legacy's massive map - you can even fly around the Hogwarts' Quidditch pitch - the game itself is never made accessible. 

Why not? 

Well, as GameFragger.com explains, near the beginning of the story, Headmaster Phineas Nigellus Black (Simon Pegg) tells students that an "unfortunate injury" the previous year has led to the season being cancelled. It's a rather underwhelming explanation, and we have to believe it was a pretty gruesome injury if the whole thing has been called off! 

Some time ago, a leak revealed that Hogwarts Legacy's developers considered including Quidditch once upon a time, only to scrap those plans fairly early on. 

That was down to a desire to focus on making the game as good as possible and, had they been forced to create a new system for an entire Quidditch match to be a playable experience, other areas of the title would have inevitably suffered. 

Plus, having spent some time on a broomstick after first playing the game late last week, we can tell you that as fun as they are to take control of, it would have been tough for them to pull off the necessary moves for a game as fast as Quidditch.

Another big question surrounding Hogwarts Legacy's launch is how long it takes to beat.

We're already a couple of dozen hours in and not even a quarter of the way through the story, but can tell you that the main campaign takes at least 30 to 35 hours to play through. However, if you diverge from the path to explore, experience the side missions, and track down the collectables, it could be anywhere from 70 to 100 hours.

Are you planning to pick up a copy of Hogwarts Legacy?
