Hogwarts Legacy, the popular game set in the magical world of Harry Potter, is finally receiving its first major update this week. Developed by Avalanche Software, the update will include a highly-requested feature previously only available on the PlayStation 5 version, as well as some minor additions.
Despite being the best-selling game of 2023, it's surprising that Hogwarts Legacy has not received a substantial update since its launch in February last year. However, that is all about to change with the release of the summer update on Thursday, June 6. While it may not add any new content to extend the game's lifespan, it does offer some exciting features for players who have completed everything.
The headline feature of the update, as shown in a new video, is a photo mode complete with character poses and a variety of editing tools. This will allow players to capture the magical world of Hogwarts from the best angle and share their perspective using the hashtag #CaptureTheUnwritten.
Additionally, the update will also include the ability to reset Talent points for a cost of 200 gold per point. And, the Haunted Hogsmeade Shop quest, previously exclusive to the PlayStation 5 version, will now be available on PC, Xbox, and Switch.
Some minor cosmetic additions are also included in the update, such as Harry Potter's glasses, an Azkaban prisoner's outfit, a new Lavender Borealis broom, a Felix Felicis potion recipe, and the Onyx Hippogriff mount.
There has been speculation about whether Hogwarts Legacy will receive a story expansion in the future. While the game's director initially stated that there were no plans for DLC, the game's immense success with over 22 million copies sold may have changed those plans. Warner Bros. has also hinted at the possibility of a sequel, as they see Hogwarts Legacy as a "long-term franchise."
However, it remains to be seen how the game will fit into Warner Bros.' plans to focus on live service titles in the future. Despite this potential dilemma, the company is also working on another Harry Potter project called Quidditch Champions, though a release date has yet to be announced.
The summer update for Hogwarts Legacy will be available on all consoles on June 6, 2024. For more gaming news and updates, be sure to follow us on Twitter, leave a comment below, and sign up for our newsletter. And, to easily submit Inbox letters and Reader's Features, use our Submit Stuff page.
