The price is set at 3,990 yen including tax, a sharp reduction from the regular edition's 8,778 yen. Pre-orders opened the same day at game retailers nationwide. The open-world action RPG, originally released in February 2023, is set in the 1800s Harry Potter universe. Players take the role of a fifth-year Hogwarts student who wields ancient magic, exploring locations such as Hogsmeade and the Forbidden Forest, learning spells, making friends, and confronting threats to the wizarding world. The new price edition replaces the existing package version for both platforms.","why_it_matters":"The price cut aligns Hogwarts Legacy's physical retail price with the budget tier common for older AAA titles in Japan, potentially extending its sales life more than three years after its original launch.","published_at":"2026-05-29T07:00:27.000Z","source_count":2,"sources":["4Gamer.net","Automaton"],"citations":[{"source":"4Gamer.net","title":"\"Hogwarts Legacy\" Package Version to Be Priced at 3,990 Yen (incl. tax).
