It’s set to be an exciting year for fans of Hogwarts Legacy. For a game that’s proved to be so popular, Hogwarts Legacy has been vastly underserved in terms of post release content.
Despite originally launching in February of last year, very little new content has landed in Hogwarts Legacy. There have, of course, been various patches relating to bug fixes but that’s not exactly what I’m getting at here. Of course, a brand new expansion would be the dream for fans but even seeing highly requested features land like a Photo Mode or extended version of Summoner’s Court and Crossed Wands would be a major win at this point. Thankfully, we do know that the PlayStation exclusive Haunted Hogsmeade quest is set to land on other platforms this summer with devs also teasing further “updates”.

Unfortunately, exactly what those “updates” will entail is a secret for now but the prospect of new content finally landing is undoubtedly exciting. It’s likely that developers spent most of 2023 working on the delayed PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch ports. With those versions of the game now out in the world, there’s time to focus on something new.

It definitely feels as if there’s more to tease out of Hogwarts Legacy before we move onto a sequel but assumedly, given the immense financial success of the game, a sequel is coming. The latest rumour claims that the supposed sequel will benefit from a major graphics boost with devs possibly switching to Unreal Engine 5.
As reported by Tech4Gamers, a new Avalanche Software job listing states that Unreal Engine 5 experience is a required qualification. The listing is for a senior character artist who will supposedly work on the studio’s next major game. Hogwarts Legacy was developed in Unreal Engine 4 so it makes sense that it would benefit from this engine upgrade seeing as UE5 is the dominant software these days. As for when Warner Bros Games is going to open up about this sequel or those mysterious “updates”, we’ll just have to sit tight and wait.
