The game is set in the 1800s, giving players a look at Hogwarts long before the event of the Harry Potter books. You play as a student at Hogwarts who stumbles upon a long-hidden secret. As you go through the game, you explore different areas, learn spells, make potions, and level up your character. The choices you make during missions affect how the story progresses.

The free Epic Games Store version comes with the Haunted Hogsmeade Shop Quest, which adds an exclusive dungeon, the Shopkeeper’s Cosmetic Set, and access to an in-game Hogsmeade shop for your character. This content was previously a platform-specific bonus and is now available to all players claiming the game through Epic Games Store.

These additions expand customisation options for returning and new players, making it a good time to jump back into the game.
Epic is also offering a crossover reward. Anyone who claims Hogwarts Legacy during the free period will receive a Chocolate Frog Back Bling in Fortnite. The reward will appear in Fortnite automatically after the game is added to an Epic account.
Hogwarts Legacy remains free to claim until December 18, after which it will return to its regular price on the store.
