A developer at Avalanche Software has taken to X/Twitter to "set expectation" for the incoming Hogwarts Legacy update.
Community manager Chandler Wood told fans of the game that Avalanche's original wording was "very intentional" when it promised "additional updates and features" back in January 2024.
"We are thrilled that you are all excited for the free update to Hogwarts Legacy this summer," Wood said. "We love seeing all the guesses and hopes for what will be part of this update, and while we are not ready to talk about it yet, I do want to set some expectations for what we are working on.
"Our original wording of 'additional updates and features for the game' was very intentional. This update is a small way of showing appreciation to our players for the amazing reception to the game."
It's still very hard to determine what the new content might be, as implementing "additional updates and features" could essentially mean anything, but Wood is seemingly trying to let Hogwarts Legacy fans know that a major expansion or anything too complex or vast is on the way.
Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC players will at least be getting a new mission, however, as content previously exclusive to PlayStation is arriving alongside the extra content coming to all platforms. This includes the Haunted Hogsmeade quest which, upon completion, grants access to the Hogsmeade Shop as well as the Shopkeeper cosmetic set.
Hogwarts Legacy was the bestselling game in the U.S. in 2023 and sold 22 million copies worldwide. Its success has been mixed with controversy due to its connection to Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling though, who has been outspoken in her anti-transgender views.
In our 9/10 review, IGN said: "In almost every way, Hogwarts Legacy is the Harry Potter role-playing game [we've] always wanted to play."
