What does "Holiday 2022" mean?

[meebee88]

What does "Holiday 2022" mean? Does that mean December 2022? Does that mean November 2022? Does it mean April 2022? Someone please clarify because the anticipation and the unknown is eating away at me.

The russian version of the FAQ on the website says "Hogwarts Legacy will release at the end of 2022".
So I do believe it's the November-December window.

Sounds about right. Lots of holidays there.

btw it might be worth noting that in the UK, with British culture atleast, harry potter is also a seasonal thing, you often watch it around Christmas time.
So this could be an influencer along with wanting Christmas time pre-orders and purchases before it can be out long enough for it to go on sale.
Who knows, maybe the game will have a snowy hogwarts / christmassy hogwarts at the start too?

No, the game's events definitily start on September 1st, 1890. There won't be any snow there.

That does give me an idea... I wonder if the game will be officially released on September 1st?? That would pretty cool.

September 1st is not part of the holiday season.
Plus, it's a horrible day to release the game in general, because it's the very day people have to get back to school and work in real life.

That is true, I didn't think of that.

I know this was said before but yes, the woke say happy/merry holidays instead of happy/merry christmas because they want to disassociate it with christianity and be more inclusive to non-christians.
this isnt an opinion, its a fact lmao.

I wouldn't say they're woke if they're too childish to say the actual holiday

cant it be summer holidays? :p

If a US-based company talks about "holiday" or "holiday season" it always means "november / december - release suitable for the Christmas business".

I always get a queasy stomach when I hear "holiday" as release period... that often means that they really want to have it on the market by then in order to be able to participate in the Christmas business. Whether the product is release-ready or not.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. That's what companies say if the don't mean "fall" or "winter" but "sometime end of fall / start of winter". And talking about the "holiday season" isn't a newfangled habit either.
But sure, you also can interpret woke demeanor or talking everywhere if you feel better then.

If they would plan to release it on September 1st they would say "summer" or "late summer", not "holiday".

Placeholder for the 4th quarter.
No one in their right mind would release an AAA game on December 30th ... or generally between Christmas and New Year.
