Hogwarts Legacy fans stunned by heaps of new content we all missed

Hogwarts Legacy fans stunned by heaps of new content we all missed

There's a lot hidden away

One of the parts of game development that most players don’t see is the sheer amount that has to be cut in order to ship the title.

Hogwarts Legacy is no different, and one Redditor has been combing the files within the game to uncover what was cut or not pursued by the development team.

Hogwarts Legacy has been a firm favourite with Potter fans

Of course, some files could possibly point to things that will develop over time, perhaps in the upcoming DLC, which is scheduled for later this year.

Laytheron has several threads through the Hogwarts Legacy Reddit listing countless files that show everything from cut spells, to areas off limits to players.

One particular thread shows a vast amount of spells that could have made it into the game. So many, in fact, that I wasn’t even aware a lot of these were a part of the Harry Potter world.

“So many cut or not implemented, FFS,” said Track_Long, who went on to explore what could have been.

“Reducto & Expluso are in the game but not available to us *unless you have mods, I’ve also seen Expulso Maxima & Fiendfyre. Incarcerous could have been another non-lethal option. I would have liked Piertotum locomotor to use stone statues against foes.”

Another player, muapau, said, “Wow! I want Aguamenti and Episkey, they are so specific, I wonder how they would even be used in the gameplay.”

There’s a hope from some that these were perhaps tested while developing the game, but have now been kept aside for the eventual sequel game.

“Doesn’t this just mean all the assets are ready for 2?” questions feryoooday.

We can only hope, this way we’ll get a fresh batch of spells in the follow-up which has been announced by Warner Bros.

It’s always fascinating to see what gets cut from big games like this.
