2022 is already a monumental year for games with heavy-hitters launching this February, which include some of the year’searly Game of the Year contenders.SifuandHorizon Forbidden Westwill soon be met with this week’s release ofElden Ring, and it may be difficult for subsequent months this year to contend with such a lineup.
However, 2022 is still scheduled to release a few other highly anticipated titles that fans have been excited for. Recently, reputable leakers who frequent social media have surmised thata new PlayStation State of Play is allegedly imminent. This speculation thread started with a post from Tom Henderson, who had previously leaked details about Quantic Dream’sStar Wars Eclipsebefore it was officially announced. Now, another leaker seems to have suggested thatHogwarts Legacywill play a big role in March’s rumored State of Play.

Twitter user and leaker Shpeshal_Nick had responded to Henderson’s thread and described the rumored State of Play as “the good one.” This created speculation about what that could entail, but prominent leaker AccountNGT has since responded to that description in the thread with nothing but a magic wand emoji, suggesting thatHogwarts Legacywill make an appearance in some capacity. AccountNGT recentlyleaked supposed details aboutHogwarts Legacythat included a September release, which would officially cement it for a 2022 launch if true.
None of the leakers share whether they believe the State of Play will featureHogwarts Legacyexclusively. It would excite fans to see official gameplay as a showcase or an in-depth trailer that walks fans through some ofHogwarts Legacy’s core features. Moreover, leakers seem certain about March as the window for the next State of Play or PlayStation Showcase. However, they are unsure about when in March it may air. Either way, the event and the possibility ofHogwarts Legacyappearing are both merely rumors at this point with no official verification.
Stray,Marvel’s Midnight Suns,Ghostwire: Tokyo, andGod of War: Ragnarokare only a handful of other titles that could be shown off if there is indeed a new State of Play that fans can look forward to next month. With little announced or shared from many of 2022’s releases it is possible that some of them may be delayed until 2023, where they will thencontend with the launch ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2.
Hogwarts Legacyis currently scheduled to release in 2022 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
