Hogwarts Legacy 2023 Release Dates

Hogwarts Legacy until recently, had a release date of December 2022. But as you can see from the Hogwarts Legacy tweet above, the game has now been slated for a release date of February 10, 2023. The game will release on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on that date, while the Nintendo Switch version of the game will be released after the game has been released on those platforms. The last time the game had a major spotlight was back in Sony’s State of Play in March of this year. The State of Play gave gamers an expansive look at Hogwarts Castle and beyond, delving into the mechanics of the game.

Hogwarts Legacy is developed by Avalance Software who previously worked with Disney properties when they developed the Disney Infinity franchise. Hogwarts Legacy will be a prequel to the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts series, as it is set in the 1800s. It is an action role-playing game in which you will play a student attending Hogwarts, starting from their fifth year. As you progress through the game with your unique character, you will be able to cast spells against your foes and explore key environments from the Harry Potter franchise, like Hogwarts Castle, the Forbidden Forest, and Hogsmede Village. Because of when the story takes place, you won’t see many characters from the Harry Potter franchise in Hogwarts Legacy. Instead, you will get to craft your own journey as a Hogwarts student, by choosing your house and attending your classes. Of course, there is a deeper story that involves dark wizards and goblins that you will also be able to play through, but who wouldn’t want to attend Defence Against the Dark Arts? The game has been surrounded by controversy since it was announced, with many people online feeling outraged or conflicted about the game because it uses J.K. Rowling’s popular intellectual property. If you were not aware, J.K. Rowling has been under fire for a while, as she often posts tweets that people have labeled transphobic. But the game does feature an all-new story set in the Harry Potter universe, which was not scribed by the Harry Potter creator. Hopefully pushing the game back a couple of months means that the developer will be able to release the game in the best state possible, without having to crunch, but we will have to wait and see. Hogwarts Legacy is currently scheduled to release on February 10, 2023, on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch release coming at a later date.

Ochaco Uraraka

Ochaco Uraraka, also known as Uravity , is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero. She is one of the main protagonists of My Hero Academia. At first glance, Ochaco doesn't seem like one of the strongest combatants, but over the course of her time at U.A. High School, she has drastically improved her combat prowess to become a very capable combatant. Her abilities earned her 3rd place in the U.A. Entrance Exam, and 10th place in the Quirk Apprehension Test. Ochaco's main battle tactic consists of getting close to her opponent and using her Quirk, Zero Gravity, to directly affect them. This causes her targets to continuously float up and lose their footing, drastically inhibiting their fighting capabilities.

Ochaco also utilizes floating rubble as projectile attacks, or remove the weight of heavy structures, holding onto them to be used as improvised melee weapons. Ochaco can further use Zero Gravity to remove her own weight to increase her agility and create decoys by making objects levitate above the ground. Ochaco's overall abilities make her one of the strongest female students in her class. During the U.S.J. Incident, Ochaco was able to temporarily immobilize Kurogiri, a highly capable villain, thereby giving Hanta Sero and Rikido Sato an opening to subdue the villain even further. Ochaco has also proven her mettle at the U.A. Sports Festival, wherein she was pitted against Katsuki, one of the strongest students in Class 1-A. Despite having a disadvantage at close range, and knowing Katsuki's abilities far exceeded her own, Ochaco managed to catch him by surprise a few times during their battle, as well as pressure him into using his full power. Following the Sports Festival, she trained under the Battle Hero: Gunhead to improve her hand-to-hand combat skills, becoming an even more formidable individual. Ochaco also developed keen senses and quick reflexes, as she was able to discern when Himiko Toga was attempting to attack her and reacted quickly enough to dodge and pin the villain to the ground. Ochaco's abilities garnered the attention of Nejire Hado, the third strongest student of U.A. High School's Big 3, who recommended both Ochaco and Tsuyu to intern alongside her under the tutelage of Ryukyu, the No. 10 (formerly No. 9) Pro Hero. At the beginning the Shie Hassaikai Raid, the Ryukyu Squad acted as the first line of defense against Rikiya Katsukame of the Eight Bullets and were able to successfully subdue him. In the final round of the Joint Training Battle, Ochaco incapacitated the unpredictable Neito Monoma, having capitalized on the latter's attempt to replicate Izuku's Quirk. When an immobilized Neito attempted to use a copied Poltergeist to launch a metal pipe at Ochaco, her quick reflexes allowed her to effortlessly dodge the surprise attack. Afterward, Ochaco swiftly defeated both Reiko Yanagi and Yui Kodai, with a single attack each. Ochaco's Quirk gives her the power to nullify the effects of gravity on solid targets (living and nonliving) by touching them with the pads on her fingertips, causing them to become weightless and float. She is able to cancel the effect of her Quirk by touching her finger pads together. Her Quirk is good for restraint, as those affected are unlikely to fight back since they will keep floating upwards until they are released. Ochaco takes advantage of ravaged areas to gather wreckage while also exploiting the consequences of a destructive Quirk. She can easily clean up disaster zones while simultaneously figuring out the timing of her movements so as not to damage others. The main drawback of Ochaco's Quirk is that if the upper weight limit (around three tons) is exceeded, or if Ochaco floats herself, she will suffer from severe nausea. As part of her training, Ochaco considerably reduced resultant nausea and increased her weight limit, as well as developed her ability to float herself for short periods of time without becoming nauseous.
