Hogwarts Legacy, the 2023 action RPG from Avalanche Software that allows Harry Potter fans to become a student at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, 100 years before what’s told in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter novels, is getting a significant update next month that will bring Photo Mode, new items, and more to the game, developer Portkey Games has announced. News of the update comes nearly three months after Chandler Wood, a community manager, told players that an update was on the way, but that he needed to “set expectations” for it.
Hogwarts Legacy Summer Update includes:
- New Photo Mode
- Ability to reset talent points
- Haunted Hogsmeade Shop Quest
- The Glasses That Lived
- Azkaban Prisoner’s Outfit & Coat
- Felix Felicis Potion Recipe
- Levender Borealis Broom
- Onyx Hippogriff Mount
A look at what the new items (and mount) look like:
Wood speaking on the update back in March:
…what we are working on. Our original wording of "additional updates and features for the game" was very intentional. This update is a small way of us showing appreciation to our players for the amazing reception to the game. (2/2)
