Initially, it appeared as if the upcoming updates to the game would be an extended version, often referred to as a “director’s cut.” This was hinted at by a 2024 Bloomberg report. Subsequent reports from Insider Gaming suggested that this director’s cut, planned for release as the “Definitive Edition,” would offer approximately 10 to 15 hours of new content, including additional quests and gear. Given the phenomenal success of Hogwarts Legacy, it seemed reasonable that Warner Bros. would seek to maximize profits by expanding the game further. However, a more recent Bloomberg report indicates that the Definitive Edition has been scrapped due to financial reasons. While this news is unfortunate, it might ultimately prove beneficial in the long run.
