Harry Potter fans will be thrilled to hear that video game spinoff Hogwarts Legacy is about to get a magical new update.
Available for PC users on Steamand Epic Games Store, the new update adds mod support to Hogwarts Legacy.
Available completely free of charge, Hogwarts Legacy mod support has a January 30 release date. Expect the update to drop at around midday.
The news was announced by Portkey Games, alongside a preview video about what to expect.
« The keys to the castle are now in the hands of the Community! » reads a Steam post.
« In the latest FREE update to Hogwarts Legacy, PC Modding will now be officially supported with the release of our Creator Kit and in-game Mod Manager. It’s time to conjure up a whole new Hogwarts and live the unwritten like never before! »
As you can see from the video below, fans will be able to download the Creator Kit, which should simplify the procedure.
For starters, players will be able to make small changes like adding new hairstyles to the game, or changing appearances.
On the other end of the scale, modders can even create entire dungeons, and conjure up new quests.
Modding can also add things like magic carpet rides, new brooms, and even additional items.
Modders can upload their creations by creating an account with Warner Bros. A selection of pre-made mods will also be available at launch, just to get the creative juices flowing.
Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world RPG set long before the events of the Harry Potter books and films.
Players must attend classes and learn new skills, such as casting spells, creating potions and identifying beasts. That’s on top of attempting to save the entire wizarding world.
« Experience Hogwarts in the 1800s, » reads the official description. « Your character is a student who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart.
« Make allies, battle Dark wizards, and ultimately decide the fate of the wizarding world. Your legacy is what you make of it. Live the Unwritten. »
