Epic Games has officially lifted the curtain on its long-teased mystery title during The Game Awards. The reveal came exactly as expected during the show, and players were told they would be able to add the game to their Epic Games Store libraries within 30 minutes of the announcement.
As soon as the reveal happened, the community reaction was immediate. Social media quickly filled with guesses, clips from the broadcast, and confirmation posts, turning the mystery drop into one of the most talked-about Epic moments of the night. The timing was no coincidence, Epic clearly wanted the announcement to land while attention was fully locked on the awards stage.
Shortly after, the mystery title was confirmed to be Hogwarts Legacy!
Originally released in 2023, the open-world action RPG lets players create their own character and explore Hogwarts and its surrounding regions long before the events of the Harry Potter books. The game became a massive commercial success thanks to its detailed world design, spell-based combat, and strong single-player focus.
Epic’s choice to attach this reveal to The Game Awards follows its recent pattern of using major industry events to amplify store promotions and high-profile drops. Once added, the game will remain permanently in players’ libraries.
By holding the name back until the moment of confirmation, Epic managed to turn a simple store reveal into a genuine event. For players who missed it the first time around, this drop is hard to ignore.
