The Epic Games Store is kicking off the festive season with a bang, unveiling its latest Holiday Sale shortly after wrapping up the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals. This time, gamers can snag a significant freebie, the much-acclaimed open-world action/adventure game, Hogwarts Legacy, developed by Avalanche Software. Available until December 18 at 5 PM, players can add this 2023 release permanently to their Epic Games Store library.
Exciting Collaborations and Promotions
Epic Games has teamed up with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to feature Hogwarts Legacy prominently in its game offerings. Players who immerse themselves in Hogwarts Legacy for at least two hours via the Epic Games Store by December 18 at 11 AM Eastern Time will earn the exclusive Chocolate Frog Back Bling in Fortnite. This reward is available to both new and prior purchasers who meet the playtime requirement. Later this month, Fortnite will expand its offerings with Wizarding World-themed outfits and accessories, allowing fans to represent their favorite Hogwarts house.
Harry Potter’s Magical Influence Extends Further
Rocket League joins in the celebration with its annual Frosty Fest event, embracing the Harry Potter universe through the Hogwarts House Rivalry. Participants earn points by playing matches while representing their house, with challenges and in-game items to enhance the experience. Additional information on this magical event will be released soon.
Hogwarts Legacy’s Ongoing Success and Future Prospects
Hogwarts Legacy has proven to be a massive hit, crowned as the best-selling game of 2023, surpassing even Call of Duty. Although a Definitive Edition with extra content was planned, it was ultimately cancelled by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. However, a sequel has been confirmed as WBIE’s foremost priority, with over 35 million units sold to date. Fans can anticipate its release in the coming years, with speculation pointing to a possible 2028 launch.
