Will you meet Voldemort in Hogwarts Legacy?
To be brief, Voldemort does not appear in Hogwarts Legacy. As the game is set in the 1890s, which is approximately 27 to 36 years before Tom Riddle’s birth in 1926, the Dark Lord would not have been a part of the Wizarding World during this time.
Nonetheless, Voldemort’s lineage is present in the game. Although Tom Riddle is not featured, Hogwarts Legacy incorporates Ominis Gaunt, who is one of Voldemort’s forefathers via his mother Merope Riddle’s family, the Gaunts.
Similar to other malevolent sorcerers, the Gaunts are an exclusive clan of pure-blooded wizards, tracing their lineage back to Salazar Slytherin, the founder of Slytherin house. Nevertheless, Ominis differs from the rest of his family, as he does not share their affinity for dark magic and their inclination towards tormenting Muggles.
In Hogwarts Legacy, he will encourage the protagonist and Sebastian Sallow, your Slytherin companion, to abstain from practicing dark magic. Hence, even though Voldemort is not present in the game, we have the opportunity to encounter one of his most eccentric forebears.
