How to Unlock Hogwarts Legacy Early!
Getting early access to Hogwarts Legacy is easy! You just need to purchase the Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition of the game. Doing so ensures that you get access to the Wizarding World on February 7 instead of February 10, giving you 72 hours' worth of early gaming goodness! Costing just $10 more than the base game, as well as getting Hogwarts Legacy early access, the Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition also comes with a full suite of exclusive cosmetics for you to have fun with.
This means that the Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition of the game is the perfect opportunity for those who have been eagerly anticipating the game to come out. We know just how hard it gets waiting for an awesome new game to launch at last. And this goes doubly so for a brand-spanking-new AAA Harry Potter/Wizarding World title, as we haven't had one of these in literal ages!
Deluxe Edition Comes With More Goodies!
Looking spiffy is a crucial element of anyone's Wizarding adventure. While the base Hogwarts Legacy game does have a huge array of clothing for players to choose from, Deluxe Edition has its own outfit themed after the discipline of Dark Arts. A perfect match for those who want to communicate their stoic badassery which, coincidentally, may or may not be balancing on a knife's edge with... well, the Dark Arts themselves.
Deluxe Edition owners with early access will also get to enjoy the special Dark Arts Battle Arena side activity, where they'll get to battle it out with a big roster of the game's enemies. A perfect choice for those who wish to test their mettle ahead of actual real-world Wizarding challenges, we believe! Did we forget to mention that you get a special Thestral mount, too? Well, you do!
Here's the full list of goodies you can snag with the Deluxe Edition of Hogwarts Legacy:
- 72-hour early access period (starting on February 7)
- Dark Arts Battle Arena
- Dark Arts Cosmetic Set
- Dark Arts Garrison Hat
- Thestral Mount
Finally, since early access is the main consideration here, it gets even better! Anyone who pre-orders Hogwarts Legacy early access also gets the lovely Onyx Hippogriff to ride on the back of. This means anyone with early access essentially starts the game as a veritable beastmaster. An exciting predicament all on its own, be think.
Early Access Awaits, and 2Game Has You Covered!
It should be clear by now that Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition is an excellent value proposition for those keen to gain early access to Hogwarts Legacy. Not only does it net you three full days' worth of early access, but there's a bunch of extra goodies included to boot for just $10 extra! And, if you pre-order the game via 2Game, you're paying even less thanks to our awesome pre-order discount. A win-win if there ever was one!
Have we managed to tickle your fancy just yet? If not, we believe our overview of the Hogwarts Legacy's gameplay loop could help. In this article, we've researched what is it, exactly, that makes up most of the game's playtime and came away thoroughly impressed with the sheer variety of stuff on show. We've got every reason to believe that this will be one of 2023's defining releases. Quite hard not to be excited over something as promising as that, isn't it?
Are you worried if your PC is up to the task of running Hogwarts Legacy, though? We don't think you should be! Our argument as to why the game seems to be capable of running on some rather old hardware should convince you, too. It's supposed to be able to run on the Steam Deck, after all, and odds are that your PC is stronger than that.
We've got just over a week to go before Hogwarts Legacy launches in early access, then. Join us in Hogwarts on February 7, and in the interim, stay tuned for more exciting content - right here at 2Game!
Get in the Game !
