The wizarding adventure of Hogwarts Legacy was first released over a year ago, with versions of the game now being available for every major gaming platform. As an immersive, open-world, single-player experience, it has been played and replayed by many over the past year, and yet ambitious Muggles are still looking for more to do within this magical world. While there have been many rumors regarding a sequel being in development, there has been an official confirmation that new content will be coming to Hogwarts Legacy in the summer of 2024.
It has been officially announced that there will be new content added to Hogwarts Legacy this summer. There was also the news that the previously PlayStation-exclusive quests would be made available for all players on every platform at the same time as new content is added, giving even more for many to look forward to. So far, nothing else has specifically been stated regarding what will be brought to the game, how large of a change it will bring, or even if it will be DLC or free updates, and this list is simply made up of desired hopes and likely rumors for the game.
Hogwarts Legacy Review: A Living, Breathing, Wizarding World
Hogwarts Legacy beautifully recreates the world of Harry Potter and fills it with quirky characters, tense combat, and a huge amount of collectibles.
10 New Mounts For Players To Fly On
New Broomsticks And Beasts Are Both Welcome
One of the fun aspects of Hogwarts Legacy is the chance to fly around and explore the beautiful landscape on either a broomstick or a flying creature. While many players prefer using brooms due to their unique look and feel, plus being so characteristically magical, the game does have several unique options in both categories. Expanding these choices provided for flying beasts and offering new looks for brooms could be a fairly simple cosmetic change that would be very appreciated and used often.
9 Pet Companion For The Main Character
Adding A Non-Combat Pet Would Be A Cheerful Extra
In Harry Potter lore, typically students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry would have a pet that was solely their own. These special animal companions would not need to be usable in combat in Hogwarts Legacy, but it would be nice to have nonetheless. Simply being able to purchase a non-combat pet, or choose one from the Vivarium, and have it accompany the player in the game would add a wonderful immersive quality, and help make up for the fact that the main character doesn’t have many close friends at the school.
10 Things To Do In Hogwarts Legacy Most Players Never Discover
Some of the game’s most interesting quests and locations reside well off the beaten path, meaning most Hogwarts Legacy players will never find them.
8 Updates To The Vivarium
More Magical Beasts To Find
The magical world created for the Harry Potter franchise has many more beasts than those that are represented in the current version of Hogwarts Legacy. Although the moral and ethical ramifications of the Vivarium are up for debate, it is nonetheless a fun thing to try to collect creatures to house inside the student’s magical zoo. Having even more possible beasts to find, and hopefully providing more room in the Vivarium to hold them all, would be a fun extra bit of content to expand the game a bit.
7 Side Quests To Take Players To Azkaban Or Other Locations
Currently, Only Hufflepuffs Can Visit Azkaban In Hogwarts Legacy
Although it would be amazing to add entirely new locations to Hogwarts Legacy, such as visiting other magical schools or even Diagon Alley, those types of expansive content may be better suited for a Hogwarts Legacy sequel. Something that would be more easily accomplished for this summer’s content updates to the game, however, would be to add new possibilities to visit Azkaban for players of all Houses. Currently, Hufflepuff students can see inside the wizard prison during their House-exclusive questline, which means that the developers already have some assets for Azkaban at their disposal. A second quest that all players could take on would be possible.
There’s Only One Way To Get Into Azkaban In Hogwarts Legacy
It’s possible to go to Azkaban in Hogwarts Legacy, but some preliminary steps are required in order to visit this iconic Harry Potter location.
6 Additional Cosmetic Items For Fun Customizations
Dressing Up Is Always Magical
Hogwarts Legacy has a fantastic array of cosmetic items for player outfits, ranging from studious to silly. There is always room for more, however, as the modding community for the game has shown through their continued efforts to make more and more clothing items. Providing more clothing in the anticipated content updates would be rather disappointing if that is all that gets added, but in tandem with other content, many players would welcome a fresh style.
5 New Spells To Learn
Whether From Teachers, Or Dark Arts Learned Secretly
Spellcasting is a major focus of the entire game of Hogwarts Legacy, as it should be. While there are already plenty of spells to have an engaging magical experience as a witch or wizard, it never hurts to add a couple more. Naturally, this could cause problems with throwing off the balance of combat in the game, but even adding more humorous ones such as the Piertotum Locomotor incantation to bring objects to life or Furnunculus, the Pimple Jinx, would be quite entertaining.
Majority Of Hogwarts Legacy Players Are Officially Dark Wizard Material
Hogwarts Legacy recently shared some stats regarding what players have been doing in the wizarding game this year, with some surprising results.
4 Expanding The Map For More Locations To Explore
Previously Cut Areas During Development Could Return
Unconfirmed leaks when Hogwarts Legacy was first released stated that the map in the game had areas that developers didn’t have a chance to finish and therefore cut from the game before release. If this is true, it would be very feasible that content updates to Hogwarts Legacy this summer could open up those locations, which possibly include parts of the Highlands and Swamp areas. These could offer the settings for extra DLC or new quests to take place.
3 More Classes For Students To Attend
It Is A School After All
For a game set in the prestigious Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, there is surprisingly little schooling going on in the game. While there are chances for players to attend some classes, it is a minor piece in the larger game. For this reason, some rumors have spread that additional content to Hogwarts Legacy might include more class time with creative minigames included as part of the experience.
2 Endgame Content DLC For After The School Year Ends
Continuing After The Semester
Without giving any spoilers, it is safe to say that the end of the game matches up with the end of the school year, and many have lamented the lack of endgame content. If this summer brings DLC to the game, having a storyline play out following the end of the semester where the game left off would be a natural progression. This would also allow those who have grown fond of the character that they beat the game with to have a chance to play with the same character again rather than starting a new character for the updates.
1 The Long-Desired Quidditch DLC
Will Professor Black Ever Relent And Allow Quidditch
Ultimately, the feature that most players are hoping for from any kind of added content or DLC to Hogwarts Legacy would be the inclusion of Quidditch. This has been a sore point for the game since its release, as having even the smallest chance to play the wizarding sport was heavily anticipated by many. Although it would be a massive overhaul for developers to rewrite the game to include Quidditch throughout the game, perhaps offering a chance to play one game of it at the end of the school year would help put some smiles on players of Hogwarts Legacy.
