What a nice surprise! Last January, Avalanche Software announced on Twitter the release of, among other things, an update for Hogwarts Legacy. New content will be available from summer 2024, including an exclusive PlayStation quest for other platforms. The details of this update have finally been revealed, to thank players for their loyalty, but it also raises a number of questions? We take a look!

New content coming soon for Hogwarts Legacy? Avalanche Software, the development studio behind the magical software released in 2023, announced in a tweet on X back in January that"updates and additional features" would be available from summer 2024, as well as the PlayStation console-exclusive quest for other platforms, namely Xbox consoles, PC and the Nintendo Switch.

An update thatAvalanche Community Manager Chandler Wood hinted at in another tweet on March 8, clarifying that the wording used in the January tweet was very much intentional:"We love seeing all your guesses and hopes about what this update will contain, and while we're not ready to talk about it yet, I want to set some expectations about what we're working on. "Our original wording 'additional updates and features for the game' was very intentional". The idea behind this update? Thanking players:"This update is a small way of showing our gratitude to our players for the incredible response to the game," explains Chandler Wood.

What can we expect from this content? As far as the exclusive quest is concerned, we already know: it's a secondary mission taking place in Hogsmeade, in an empty store. A slightly creepy quest, which gave us a little trouble, but which should appeal to PC, Xbox and Nintendo Switch owners. A mission long enough, in any case, to keep gamers busy for a while.

And we now know more about the"updates and additional features", as Warner Bros. Games revealed them in a tweet on May 30, 2024. So, no DLC (apart from the exclusive quest, which is no longer exclusive), but several new features and items available from June 6, 2024. Here's the list:

  • New photo mode
  • Talent points reset
  • Accessory "The glasses that survived" (Harry Potter's glasses)
  • Recipe for Felix Felicis potion
  • Azkaban prisoners' uniform and coat
  • Boreal Lavender Broom
  • Onyx Hypogriff Frame

While we wait for the update to be rolled out on June 6, we'll be immersed in Hogwarts Legacy and awaiting the release of Harry Potter Quidditch Champions... To your controllers!
