One particularly dedicated Hogwarts Legacy player has demonstrated an incredible feat with the game just two months after its release. Gamers are still exploring what’s possible in the world of Hogwarts Legacy, but this player may have seen it all.
Hogwarts Legacy was a huge success at a time when the wizarding world needed it most. After the somewhat popular Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movies, the Harry Potter franchise’s star is on the wane. However, Hogwarts Legacy’s stellar sales numbers show Warner Bros. that fans’ appetite for Harry Potter is still alive and well, and it only takes a good product to get audiences back on the Hogwarts Express.
Redditor GaryE20904 has managed to complete their fourth playthrough of the game, each time in a different house. According to users, this even includes Merlin’s Trial of Hogwarts Legacy, which is often seen as the most annoying element of the game. Across all four playthroughs, their combined playtime was around 290 hours, which is certainly a lot of playtime in two months. Some in the thread were surprised by the achievement, with one player claiming that “the game doesn’t change based on any choices or your house.” This has been a bone of contention since the original release, despite the general consensus among the community It seems like players are happy with the role-playing elements of the game.
Even with all that playtime, there’s no way of knowing if they’ve discovered all that the Hogwarts legacy has to offer. Games seem to be filled with a lot of secrets, and gamers are always looking online for new things to reveal. One player even discovered a clever yeti interaction in Hogwarts Legacy nearly 300 hours later, showing that even the most experienced players can still find plenty of new stuff. Avalanche Software deserves credit for its attention to detail that rivals the best open world games on the market.
With many gamers still having a lot to explore in Hogwarts Legacy, Avalanche Software appears to be standing its ground when it comes to the game’s DLC. No DLC is being developed for Hogwarts Legacy after early sales reportedly topped expectations, and word on that remains scant. However, there is still good news for Harry Potter gamers following the surprise announcement of the Harry Potter : Quidditch Champion. While many believe this could be DLC for Hogwarts Legacy, either way, it’s good that fans of the wizarding world get more content.
Hogwarts Legacy is out now for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, with PS4 and Xbox One versions coming May 5 and a Switch port coming July 25.
