Warner Bros. is apparently conjuring up a special edition of Hogwarts Legacy, featuring several hours of additional content.

Hogwarts Legacy is one of the most successful single-player games of recent years, with sales exceeding 24 million copies – a number only rivalled by Elden Ring.

Its success has already locked in a sequel, with Warner Bros. Discovery chief financial officer, Gunnar Wiedenfels recently describing a follow-up as ‘one of the biggest priorities in a couple of years down the road’ at the company.

In the meantime, it seems Warner Bros. is planning to capitalise on the existing Harry Potter spin-off, with additional DLC for the original game.

According to Insider Gaming, Hogwarts Legacy Definitive Edition is in development now and will includes DLC that will be sold separately for those that have already purchased the original.

This new edition is said to have ‘around 10-15 hours of additional content’, spanning a new story quest, side quests, activities, and outfits – although there’s no specifics of what these will involve.

According to the report, the DLC will be priced between $20 (£15) and $30 (£23), and will launch sometime next year, in order to bolster the company’s declining gaming revenue following the failure of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about a new edition of Hogwarts Legacy. In June, a report claimed many employees at Rocksteady, the studio behind Suicide Squad and the Batman Arkham games, were helping to a develop a ‘director’s cut’ version of Hogwarts Legacy, as the leadership looked to pitch a new single-player title.

Hogwarts Legacy is developed by Avalanche Software, who were best known for games like Disney Infinity. If the reports are true about a definitive edition being worked on elsewhere, it’s likely the team at Avalanche are already at work on a sequel.

As for when a definitive edition could be announced, the obvious contender is The Game Awards on December 12. The original game was announced during a PlayStation event in 2020, so it could also pop up in a future State Of Play.

Despite the success of Hogwarts Legacy and the $200 million flop of Suicide Squad, Warner Bros. has stated it still intends to launch more live service games in the future, as it tries to land a money maker comparable to Fortnite.
