Does Hogwarts Legacy have character creation?

Hogwarts Legacy immerses you in an open-world experience, complete with long-anticipated features. One of the most frequently asked questions is whether players can create their own characters in the game. Here’s all the information you need.

This latest entry in the Wizarding World video game series showcases an extensive list of new locations, spells, and unique mounts for players to enjoy.

While the series has had some hits with both the classic adaptations and the Lego variations of the beloved book-and-film series, this is by far the most advanced take yet.

So with all that said, does the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy have a character creation system that will truly satisfy our long-standing dream of attending the premier school for Witchcraft and Wizardry? Here’s what you need to know.

Can you make your own character in Hogwarts Legacy?

The answer is a definitive yes. As demonstrated in the first gameplay reveal stream, the game features quite a complex number of choices for each individual player to tailor their character to their wants and needs.

Legacy’s customization system brings players into the life of a Hogwarts student like never before allowing them not only to choose between the standard things like skin color and facial structure but there is a wealth of clothing and design choices to be made along the way.

Hogwarts Legacy character customization options

Unlike similar games in the genre, things like clothing options are not exclusively locked to a player’s gender identity either, allowing for an impressively free-flow approach when it comes time to start dressing your avatar.

Some areas of customization, like glasses, for example, start out with a barebones selection (circular, half moon, hexagon) but you can gradually unlock more options as you progress through the game.

That just scratches the surface of what’s available to players in this system though, so keep an eye out for the full details when the game releases on February 10, 2023 (unless you have early access).

So, there you have it — that’s all there is to know about character creation within Hogwarts Legacy.
