Hogwarts Legacy: Avalanche Introduces PS5 Features – News

Sometime in the summer of 2022 Hogwarts legacy appear, in which you can become a magic student yourself at the famous school of witchcraft and wizardry. After developer Avalanche Software published gameplay and fresh information from the game in March 2022, the studio now goes into more detail about the PS5-exclusive features of the game in an entry on the Playstation Blog.

Of course you want to use the features of the Dualsense controller as much as possible. The LED bar around the touchpad will light up with the colors of the house you belong to. In addition, the developers use the adaptive triggers to reflect the force of your executed spells as faithfully as possible. For this reason, the focus was also placed on the right side, it should feel like an extension of your arm.

But you should not only feel the magic itself, the haptic feedback and the adaptive triggers should generally ensure more immersion. Whether it’s crushing ingredients in a mortar during potions class, hearing a mandrake scream or flying on a broomstick or a hippogriff. On the purely technical side, they also want to offer 4K resolution, in one of two graphic modes: fidelity and performance. This is probably the usual distinction between 60 frames per second and native 4K.

Thanks to the Tempest audio support, the soundscape should also be as realistic as possible. The developers cite bubbling potions, the crackling of the Incendio spell or the hippogriff’s flapping wings as examples. And of course, the Sony console’s SSD is used to reduce loading times to a minimum.

In addition to the PS5, Hogwarts Legacy will also appear on PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Nintendo Switch.
