Fans of Hogwarts Legacy will have great fun on June 6.
On that day the game's summer update is scheduled to premiere. First coming to current-generation consoles and PC ahead of belated releases for older PlayStation and Xbox hardware, then the Nintendo Switch release late last year, Avalanche Software's latest title had quite the long release process. Though reportedly no plans for DLC on the horizon, Hogwarts Legacy's Summer Update is most likely the largest content drop the game experiences following launch.
The official Hogwarts Legacy X (previously Twitter) account disclosed June 6 as the Summer Update releasing date. Although the update was announced early in 2024, few specifics were revealed outside of a summer release window.
The Haunted Hogsmeade quest adds most significantly to Hogwarts Legacy via the summer update.
Previously just PS4 and PS5, this quest is now available on all other platforms with the update. Though usually referred to as Haunted Hogsmeade, the actual quest in-game is "Mind Your Own Business," and can be begun in Hogsmeade during the winter part of the game. Under false pretenses, the house-elf Penny offers the student to buy and run a store in the village.
Highly sought-after since the game's release, the snapshot mode and the ability to reset the player character's Talent Points constitute the other most important improvements in the summer update. The former particularly appeals since one of the best achievements of Hogwarts Legacy is its quite realized castle. The remaining items are Azkaban Prinsoner's Outfit and Coat; Lavender Borealis Broom, which seems to emit purple-hued Northern Lights in-flight; the Felix Felicis potion recipe, which was an exclusive item for PlayStation pre-orders; an Onyx Hippogriff mount; and The Glasses that Lived, a copy of Harry Potter's round spectacles with taped bridge.
Every item in the Summer Update for Hogwarts Legacy
The summer update for Hogwarts Legacy will include a Photo Mode, a previously platform-exclusive quest, the ability to reset Talent Points, and a few in-game objects, therefore augmenting the wizarding world game with some fresh content updates. Without explanation otherwise, on June 6 the summer update will most likely be live on all supported platforms.
Originally exclusive, the Haunted Hogsmeade quest appearing on platforms other than PS4 and PS5 is the most solid addition to Hogwarts Legacy via the summer update. Though usually referred to as Haunted Hogsmeade, the actual quest in-game is "Mind Your Own Business," and may be begun at Hogsmeade during the winter section of the game. Under false pretenses, the house-elf Penny offers the student to buy and run a store in the village.
The Summer Update from Hogwarts Legacy is Almost Here.
For fans of Hogwarts Legacy, June 6 will be a day to look forward since it marks the release of the major summer update for the game. First coming to current-generation consoles and PC ahead of belated releases for older PlayStation and Xbox gear, Avalanche Software's latest had quite the long release process. Finally the Nintendo Switch release late last year. Though there aren't any particularly clear plans for DLC on the future, Hogwarts Legacy's summer update is probably the largest content drop the game will get following launch.
The official Hogwarts Legacy X (previously Twitter) account disclosed June 6 as the summer update releasing date. Early in 2024 the update was announced, but few specifics were revealed outside of a summer release window.
The Effect of Hogwarts Legacy
Though nothing has been verified, the great popularity of Hogwarts Legacy has led to the assumption that a sequel is forthcoming. Though increasingly rare, any kind of DLC expansion is similarly uncertain, hence the summer update is a wonderful thank-you gift for the committed players. Haunted Hogsmeade going multi-platform may attract users to return for a playthrough, picking a new Hogwarts Legacy house, but the summer update is ultimately a relatively small addition. Still, it's fresh material for Hogwarts Legacy, and at that it's very welcome additions.
