Your support makes all the difference.Hogwarts Legacy is an upcoming sandbox game set in the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros Interactive, the game will take students into the ever-changing halls of Hogwarts like we’ve never seen them before. And now details around the game’s pre-order bonuses have started to appear online.
Taking place before the Fantastic Beasts films, players will attend Hogwarts in the 19th century as a customisable student in one of the four main houses – Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff – as they explore the wizarding world before the events of the Harry Potter series of books or films.
While we eagerly await news of Hogwarts Legacy’s release date, details around the game’s pre-orders have been leaked, according to reports from VGC. A Reddit user has managed to find details about what players can expect to see in the deluxe versions of the game before its scheduled to release later this year.
As expected with a premium bundle for an upcoming game, like with God of War Ragnarok and Bayonetta 3, the collector’s edition will come with a physical bonus, as well as cosmetic upgrades that can be used in game.

‘Hogwarts Legacy’ pre-order bonus details
A post by Reddit user BattleDashBR has shown what players can expect to see in both the collector’s edition as well as the deluxe version of the game, which was found on the official Hogwarts Legacy website. The link has since been taken down, but a screenshot has shown what could be in store for new players.
Both versions of the title will see a number of digital bonuses for anyone looking to pre-order, as well as 72 hours early access before the game’s (as of yet unannounced ) release date.
The collector’s edition also features two additional physical bonuses – a steelbook case and an item listed as a “floating ancient magic wand with book”. It’s not currently clear what this could look like, but there’s a chance it will form part of a display model that will come bundled with the game as a limited-edition physical bonus.
The following bonus items for the deluxe editions are listed below, which are also included in the collector’s edition, according to the leak:
- Base game
- Thestral mount
- Dark Arts cosmetic pack
- Dark Arts battle arena
- Dark Arts garrison hat
- 72 hours early access to the game
- Kelpie robe
How to pre-order ‘Hogwarts Legacy’
