Multiple leaks had claimed over recent months that Avalanche Software was working on a Definitive Edition of the mega-hit Hogwarts Legacy with support from Batman: Arkham and Suicide Squad developer Rocksteady Studios. This expanded re-release would have included new content in the form of an expansion, though it seems those plans have now been scrapped.
That’s as per a Bloomberg report that claims WB Games was “concerned” that the new content that was to be included wasn’t going to be “substantial enough” to justify the price point that the company was considering for the release. The report claims the expansion would have included a storyline revolving around a companion character that was cut from the base game.
Last month, the embattled WB Games announced a significant shakeup following a string of high-profile failures, which involved the shuttering of Monolith Productions and Player First Games, and the cancellation of the former’s Wonder Woman game.
A sequel to Hogwarts Legacy remains in development at Avalanche Software.
