The Australian Attestation Commission assigned the Hogwarts Legacy role-playing game the age mark M (17+).
The high rating by the standards of "Harry Potter" is due to supernatural themes, as well as elements of violence that occur.
In addition, the regulator mentions support for in-game purchases and some "online interactivity".
Regarding the first one, the developers have already stated that, if desired, players will be able to separately purchase a set of Dark Arts Pack, available by default in the deluxe edition, but no other items can be purchased inside the game.
As for the network functions, they became known for the first time. According to the FAQ from the WB Games website, "Hogwarts.
Legacy" is an exclusively single-player title without multiplayer and co-op.
Perhaps by "online interactivity" we mean the mandatory download of the patch on the first day for buyers of physical copies of the project.
Hogwarts Legacy will be released on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC on Steam and Epic Games Store on February 10, and will later receive a native port for Switch.
The PlayStation version will contain exclusive content that will not appear on other platforms for a year.
the m rating isn't 17+ it only has a 15+ reccomendation, however legally anyone under 15 can go to the shop and buy it as there is no restriction
