The trailer opens stating that the world can be explored in “stunning 4K” providing that you have access to a 4K display for your Playstation 5.

Should you already have the elusive console and one of its PS5 dualsense controller’s then there’s even more good news. They dynamic light bar is also customisable and will match your chosen house’s colours – red for Gryffindor, blue for Ravenclaw, and so on.

If that’s not enough, the haptic feedback of the dualsense can also be used to “feel the sensation of flight” and the “force of magic” whenver players cast spells with the adaptive triggers. Plus, the game will also make use of the PS5’s spatial 3D audio which can be utilised using the pulse 3D wireless headset (£89.99, Currys.co.uk) which featured in our round-up of the best PS5 accessories.

While there’s still no news on the game’s release date and we await further details surrounding Hogwarts Legacy’s map, these new features will be a welcome newflash – especially for those who are looking to pick up the game on their Playstation 5 later this year.
