Hogwarts Legacy’s players may have made peace with the fact that the game won’t receive any significant post-launch content but according to recent reports, that may not be the case. The Wizarding World RPG, developed by Avalanche Software, took theHarry Pottercommunity by storm when it arrived in early 2023, and while it received middling reviews from critics, fans of the franchise couldn’t get enough of its whimsical gameplay. Rounding out 2023 as the year’s best-selling game,it sounds likeHogwarts Legacyis returning for a second helping.
According toInsider Gaming, who has a decent reputation for correct leaks and rumors,Avalanche Software is developingHogwarts Legacy: Definitive Edition, which will include DLCthat contains around 10 to 15 hours of additional content. The expansion will feature a new main quest, secondary missions, cosmetics, and extra activities. The report also claims that those who already ownHogwarts Legacycan pick up the DLC for an estimated $20 to $30; While all of this information certainly sounds possible, as with all leaks it’s best to take it with a grain of salt until the project is officially unveiled.
Could The Hogwarts Legacy DLC Leak Be Real?
It’s Not Hard To Imagine…
WithHogwarts Legacyproving to be such a massive hit for publisher Warner Bros.,returning to the game after a series of sub-par releases may be the priority.Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueproved to be a massive failureamongst players and critics, so refocusing the spotlight on a release that is very likely to deliver a positive reception would be a wise move. Enough time has passed that theHogwarts Legacycommunity would welcome some more content, so a DLC and a revamped version of the base game would probably do well.
It’s still much too early to know if Avalanche is working on aDefinitive Editionbut rumors have swirled for months that the studio has beendeveloping aHogwarts Legacysequel.Pivoting to a DLC drop would be a more cost-effective means of keeping the game relevantuntil such time as an officialfollow-up is ready for launch. Only time will tell if the supposed leak is accurate but if it’s true then it’s not difficult to see an announcement coming sooner rather than later.

Screen Rant’s Take: Hogwarts Legacy Would Be A Success
There’s Definitely A Demand For More
While I don’t particularly care forHogwarts Legacy, just a cursory search online will demonstrate the sheer number of players who want more from the game. It’s already an expansive experience butproviding enthusiasts with a reason to continue exploring the magical school and its surroundings would definitely go down well. It may not fix underlying issues like itsrote open-world and dull quest design, but it will give fans of the franchise more to enjoy.
