As one of the most popular games of 2023, which was adapted from one of the most popular franchises of all time, fans have been clamoring for The Hogwarts legacy to receive DLC. It looks like Potterheads will finally get their wish, with rumors of The Hogwarts legacy getting both new DLC and a definitive edition.
The only DLC currently available for The Hogwarts legacy is the Dark Arts Pack, retailing for $19.99. The bundle only includes a Thestral mount, a Dark Arts cosmetic set, and the Dark Arts Battle Arena. However, it is rumored that this new DLC and Definitive Edition should include a substantial amount of content compared to what is currently available.

While Hogwarts Legacy 2's release year may be under speculation, the game's release date could be Occam's laughing stock.
What is known about the Hogwarts Legacy DLC
Although Warner Bros. has yet to officially announce any new content for or based on the game, a new report from Insider Gaming claims that The Hogwarts legacy will receive DLC equivalent to approximately “10-15 hours of additional content”. The DLC is supposed to be featured in the definitive edition of the game, though players who have already purchased The Hogwarts legacy will be able to buy it separately.
If Insider Gaming's report is correct, the DLC will contain “a new story mission, side missions, activities and outfits.” The report pointed out that price and release date information for this DLC is up in the air, but claims that the DLC for The Hogwarts legacy it will cost between $20 and $30 and will be released sometime in 2025.
Despite no official announcement of The Hogwarts legacy With DLC in the works, Insider Gaming has solidified itself as a reliable and trusted source for game leaks. Avalanche Software stated in February 2023 that they do not plan to release any post-launch content for the The Hogwarts legacy despite its massive success. However, this announcement was made just a month after the game's release and its success grew from Avalanche Software's comment.
Comparing the alleged price of the new DLC to the currently available Dark Arts pack shows a slight discrepancy. Players who have purchased the pack have said that the additional Dark Arts Battle Arena is only about twenty minutes of gameplay. Since this bundle currently retails for $19.99, the new alleged DLC will likely be placed in the higher $20 to $30 price range offered by Insider Gaming.
These features will likely not be included in the Hogwarts Legacy DLC
While the exact content of the DLC is still up in the air, regarding the pre-existing story missions, side missions, activities, and outfits already included in The Hogwarts legacy and comparing them to fan wishes and requests could help drive DLC additions. With a new main quest included in the DLC, it would make sense for the new side quests to branch off from this main story.
Additionally, any theming would likely coincide with these new plot points, so the new outfits will likely be similarly themed. For example, if Quidditch is eventually added The Hogwarts legacy in this DLC, Quidditch uniforms and casual sportswear would make sense as some of the included outfits. However, Quidditch is an unlikely inclusion in the The Hogwarts legacyHis DLC, despite fervent prayer from fans, as Principal Black cancels sports for the rest of the school year at the start of the game.
Other fan requests since the game's release included dragons, dementors, and the Triwizard Tournament. This last request is also an unlikely inclusion in the The Hogwarts legacyIts DLC if Avalanche Software wants to stick to the canon of the franchise. Due to the deadly nature of the competition, the Triwizard Tournament was discontinued sometime around 1972. However, a friendly competition could make for a good in-game quest and allow Avalanche Software to build The Hogwarts legacyhis canon further.
All in all, with such vague information thrown into this report, Potterheads will have time to run wild with fan theories and requests to include them in The Hogwarts legacyHis DLC. Until then, fans will just have to play (or replay) The Hogwarts legacy for themselves and maybe even get the Dark Arts pack while they wait.
