Avalanche Software and Warner Bros Games give Hogwarts Legacy news and it is very good. Something new is coming to the game this summer, with a little surprise for players on certain platforms.
It might not seem like it, but it’s been almost a year since Hogwarts Legacy was released on consoles and PC. The game set in the Harry Potter universe was a real commercial success, although it was not unanimously acclaimed by critics. The open-world title may not have won any accolades at the 2023 Game Awards and other ceremonies, but it topped sales last year in many countries, to the point of knocking out Call of Duty from his throne. As this symbolic anniversary approaches, Warner Bros Games is making a surprise announcement.
Something new is coming for Hogwarts Legacy
Players will soon have a good reason to return to Hogwarts. Since its launch last February, Hogwarts Legacy has been very timid, whether in terms of updates, new features or even content. Many people are waiting for an extension to prolong the adventure and this may be the case this year. If it does not directly mention DLC, Warner Bros Games took the floor this Friday, January 26 to promise new features this year.
This will start with the availability of the quest “Take care of your Cauldron”, which was until now reserved for PS5 and PS4 players. As the exclusivity ends, it will be available for free to everyone this summer. At this same time, the publisher promises “additional updates and features for Hogwarts Legacy”. No further details at the moment, Warner simply indicating that new information will be communicated in the coming months. The Hogwarts students did not hide their joy, having been asking for new content for several months now.
As we approach the first anniversary of Hogwarts Legacy, we wanted to let our community know that exclusive PlayStation content will be available on other platforms later this summer, along with updates and additional features for the game. Stay tuned Tune in in the coming months for more details on what’s coming to Hogwarts Legacy this year.
An upcoming DLC?
The game should therefore be followed up in 2024, and these few words were enough to revive the rumors around a DLC. It’s impossible to know what it really is, even if Avalanche Software has been clear on the case of Quidditch: it won’t happen. Budding wizards can at least expect new quests, probably new in-game objects and some additional new features. In any case, it seems substantial enough that we will have to wait until this summer. So will it really be a big update that will accompany DLC like with Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty for example? We just have to wait to find out, but Avalanche Software had started to swell its ranks recently. Perhaps for an inevitable sequel, and to prepare this new content. Wait and see as they say.
