Hogwarts Legacy Halloween DLC Leaves Gamers Seriously Torn

Hogwarts Legacy is a fine Harry Potter game but the lack of DLC expansions hurt it in the long run.

With Hogwarts Legacy 2 on the way there’s potential for the sequel to succeed where the first game failed, but I’m not holding my breath.

Something that was seriously lacking in Hogwarts Legacy was seasonal content, as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter books and films took holidays like Halloween and Christmas very seriously, so while the in-game equivalent redecorates during parts of the story, it always felt lacking in actual content.

There is a spooky quest that many relate to Halloween called Haunted Hogsmeade which I’d bet all players know about by this point, and while many players love it many others don’t consider it a winner.

“Ok so this quest was my absolute favourite in the whole game and I can’t wait to get to the point I unlock it on my second play though just to do it again but it seems to get a lot of hate on here and my question is why? What is it that made everyone dislike it so much?” asked Hogwarts Legacy player sky_evie.

The answer was the same for most responses, the exclusivity. If you’ve just accepted your invitation to Hogwarts you’ll have access to the quest as normal but when the game first came out Haunted Hogsmeade was exclusive to PlayStation versions of the game.

This obviously caused some controversy and for good reason, as why should PlayStation players get more content in the same game just because they’re playing it on a Sony console?

While the quest is available on all platforms now it remains a stark reminder that console-exclusive content is rarely a good idea, and hopefully the developers will think twice before doing something similar for Hogwarts Legacy 2.
