You're an expansion, 'Arry

Hogwarts Legacy PS5, PS4 Could Be Getting Up to 15 Hours More Content 1 — *Image: Push Square*

Remember earlier in the year it was rumoured Suicide Squad developer Rocksteady had been enlisted to help on Hogwarts Legacy? There was word at the time of some kind of Definitive Edition for the Harry Potter spin-off, although it was unclear what that would actually entail.

Now, according to well-connected industry tipster Tom Henderson, we have a hint: an additional 10-15 hours content, available as part of a new bundle or as an expansion for existing game owners.

This DLC, likely due out at some point in 2025, will include quests, costumes, activities, and more. It’s said that the add-on could cost between $20 and $30.

Hogwarts Legacy was a huge seller for Warner Bros in 2023, but the publisher suffered significant losses due to the failure of Suicide Squad a year later. It’s since said that expanding on the franchise is one of its top priorities.

Assuming this is all accurate, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the add-on announced before the end of the year. What would you like to see from a hypothetical add-on to the action RPG? Are you focused on more story, or would you prefer more activities to flesh out the open world? Let us know below.

I hope they make a proper physical edition where at least the base game is on the disc ... not just the intro ...

I really want to play the game and that is the only thing stopping me from buying it

I've been playing this game for two weeks now and I really, really think it's more than enough as is.

This game had a lot of potential but unfortunately fell massively short. The story was tedious and the gameplay was incredibly dull after several hours of playing and I don't think additional content is going to improve any of that.

Wait what? It's not?
I'll wait for some complete edition then

I loved Hogwarts Legacy so I'd absolutely be up for more. I'm not really sure I want anything in particular though. Maybe let us explore a new smaller school? Or maybe take up some tasks from the Ministry of Magic?

Looking forward to it!

The base game was good fun. I certainly wouldn't say no to some extra content.

Funny to see people criticising the game for being transphobic when they've distanced themselves from the author and there's a trans character in the game.

The virtue signaling is real.

@McTwist Yes, the physical edition for PS4 AND PS5 are useless right now.

@Zuljaras your not in the dark ages anymore get a grip. We’re living in an online generation now. It doesn’t hurt to download an update does it

@Zuljaras Not useless, you can use them as a coaster for your beverage of choice. I didn't know this and since my backlog is huge, I'll just wait for the complete edition to be discounted since I dislike paying to borrow digital games.

@Ward_ting are you talking on behalf of the 24 million people that bought the game. The add on will be greatly appreciated

I enjoyed the game for what it is. But I felt like the open world content was made before the concept of flying came into play lol. End up cheesing a lot of things using the broom stick lol

@Moj500 No, I am talking on behalf of myself. If people are excited about extra content then I'm pleased for them. I purchased and finished the game and for me additional content isn't going to get me interested in it again.

I'm not usually a big DLC fan long after I've finished a game, but this game was pretty special, and I'd absolutely pick it up again for that!

@Moj500 Then just release the game as a digital only title if you can't provide a playable physical copy. @Czar_Khastik is right, this just an expensive coaster.

Im not gonna lie this trend of releasing dlc over a year after release really messes with my trade in plans XD

On the other hand i enjoyed my time with legacy, the missus just liked catching the shiny animals they added so if theres more of them she will want it lol

@Zuljaras if it were to release as a digital only title then you lot will just moan there’s no way to win is there

What bizarre question to ask the answer is obvious........YEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!

So it's a cash grab because their stupid hero-shooter live service game failed. Not because they had great ideas for Hogwarts Legacy, but because they needed to make back their money. Yeah, I'll pass.

Loved the game, will probably get the DLC as well

@Moj500 Ahh so it is a win to release a physical edition that does not contain the game in a playable state?

A friendly advice for you, next time instead of trying to hurl petty insults, THINK before writing something. You will benefit from it

Like @NEStalgia said, I usually don’t like doing DLC so long after release, but this one was pretty special, so I’m down for it. It’s one of those games I loved at release, didn’t quite like where the story went toward the end and I sort of burned out toward the end too because of samey enemies, but darn it, whenever I think about the game, I just remember what a wonderful time it was. It’s one of the best open world takes on an established IP I think we’ve ever seen. Certainly, even with some issues, it’s one of the best games this generation and I’d really like to return to this world.

And it certainly helps that 10-15 hours is basically the length of many games I like to play as well. It’s almost like getting a sequel or an appetizer for the inevitable sequel if it’s got story based content.

I got the plat in the game, and yes, I want some DLC. Nothing too repetitive, I hope.

Reading the comments I can´t help but wonder. Why do people like this game so much?
I find it little better than generic Ubisoft slop.

Why did this game succeed where Star Wars Outlaws failed?
Is it the customizable protagonist? Or the relatively underutilized Harry Potter franchise?

@Yagami

The atmosphere; the incredible characters within; the fun sidequests; the music; exploring..

Should I really go on? If you think ''it's little better than generic Ubisoft slop'' then I really, REALLY pity you.

This game is easily one of my top games this generation - I have a few 100% playthoughs under my belt and will still play through again sometime after pro is released.
@NEStalgia said it right, it was special.

As for what I would like to see-

Higher difficulty in end/post game, but not forced by making enemies invulnerable to certain spells / mechanics. Just have larger, higher level mobs more frequently.

A continuation to Sebastians story, or maybe a large story arc set post game/companion questlines - where a group of Ranrok / Rookwood loyalists are set on revenge against you (and your friends), which involves all companions and lets you pick and choose the accompanying companion for a number of the missions.

Expecto Patronum and Dementors added.

Plays let the s squad team far away from the hogwarts game.

I'll be honest, I would rather a sequel so far after the launch of the title. It's really difficult to drop back into an expansion when you have subsequently played multiple other titles in the gap, and forgotten most of the controls and other intricacies- particularly where the DLC is often harder.

I think Hogwarts Legacy was an excellent game - they nailed the setting, although the limited enemies and slightly weak story pulled it down a little from achieving its full potential. They have an amazing canvas to build off though to tell future stories in the world and I very much look forward to playing more

You missed the excellent combat and near flawless performance lol.

@Rich33

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.. but imo this game is damn near perfect. The combat was incredibly fun and the performance was solid.

The only thing that really sucked imo was the collectibles that you find in tombs; more often than not can you not use it at all because you are already too powerful for it. But this game is still a solid 9/10 and probably the best open world game I've played since Skyrim

Great game but far too late for me to be interested in dlc unfortunately.

I was planning on getting it soon. Thanks for making me dodge that bullet. What a bunch of nonsense

No sarcasm (at least not to you - maybe a little bit to the person who thought it no better than ubisoft / outlaws).

The combat system was fantastic, and i loved the curse mechanics once you filled the skill tree.

Performance was a high spot for me - it launched in a great state, and after an improvement patch last year (during late summer i think), it ran at around 80fps a fair amount of the time (providing you have it uncapped and can use 120hz).

Agree with the small tombs, but part of the reason i liked the game is once transmog was added, and providing you had your beasts sorted, it was easy to upgrade all your gear whenever needed. There was no - do i hold onto this or that item of clothing because it looks good, or has x unique effect, etc you see in a lot of games.
