Following the massive success of Hogwarts Legacy in 2023, sources claimed that Warner Bros was working on a ‘Definitive Edition' of the game, which would contain new expansion content. Unfortunately, those plans were scrapped as WB was concerned that the extra content would not sell well enough. 

According to sources speaking with Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, Warner Bros cancelled the Hogwarts Legacy Definitive Edition project. The new expansion would have “added new story lines” but Warner was reportedly concerned that the additional content “was not substantial enough” to justify the price point being considered – a somewhat rare sight in the AAA video game space, where players are often nickel-and-dimed for the smallest pieces of content, like skins.

All of this is part of Warner Bros. ongoing restructuring efforts, which has seen multiple studios closed, including Monolith Productions, the team behind The Nemesis System in the Shadow of Mordor games, as well as classics like F.E.A.R.

WB has also made the decision to shut down three of its ongoing multiplayer games this year, including Rocksteady's Suicide Squad, Harry Potter Quidditch Champions and Multiversus.

KitGuru Says: It is a shame that this extra content will no longer see the light of day. For those interested, the extra content supposedly centred around a set of missions for a companion character, which were cut from the original game.
