Gamers now have an incredible opportunity to purchase Hogwarts Legacy for just $12, representing an massive 80% discount from its original $60 price point. This remarkable deal offers Harry Potter enthusiasts who haven't yet experienced Hogwarts Legacy the chance to dive into the wizarding world at the lowest price the game has ever seen across any platform.

Created by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Games, Hogwarts Legacy initially launched for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in February 2023, with subsequent releases for PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch platforms. The game's immersive portrayal of the beloved Harry Potter universe within a vast open-world environment propelled Hogwarts Legacy to become 2023's best-selling title, moving over 22 million copies in its release year. Critics praised the magical adventure, and it maintains an impressive average score of 84 on OpenCritic.

Currently, Hogwarts Legacy is featured in Steam's "Back to Hogwarts" promotion, offering the game at an unprecedented 80% discount for only $12. This marks the most affordable price point in the game's history, surpassing previous discounts that only reached 75% ($15). The promotion also includes substantial discounts on the Harry Potter Collection and Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, available for $8 and $6 respectively.

This promotional period arrives at an ideal time for players to experience Hogwarts Legacy, as the game's development cycle has essentially concluded. Earlier this year, reports indicated that an unannounced DLC for Hogwarts Legacy was canceled, with Avalanche Software shifting their focus toward developing the sequel.

Details about Hogwarts Legacy's sequel remain scarce currently, though its release likely remains several years away given the extended development timelines typical for open-world games. Numerous rumors about the sequel have emerged this year, including speculation that Hogwarts Legacy 2 will incorporate branching narratives. This speculation originated from Warner Bros. Games advertising a writing position requiring expertise in "screenwriting and branching dialogue" and the ability to create "compelling, complex, branching narratives."

Additional rumors suggest that Hogwarts Legacy 2's world may evolve over time. This rumor, also stemming from job advertisements, didn't specify whether these changes would represent significant transformations or primarily cosmetic alterations similar to the seasonal changes in the original game. Naturally, these rumors should be approached cautiously, as official details remain limited and much could change before the game's eventual launch.
