Hogwarts Legacy: Azkaban adds GTA-style wanted system

I’ll admit, I’m surprised that we’re yet to receive an announcement regarding the future ofHogwarts Legacy. Given the game’s immense commercial success, a sequel feels like a given. At the very least, you might expect an expansion to bridge the wait, but Avalanche is holding its cards very close to its chest.

Hogwarts Legacymay not be the year’s critical darling, but it’s certainly won the adoration of its players. According to Google, it’s2023’s most searched for game. Back in May, devs announced that the game hadsurpassed a whopping $1 billion in salesand since then, we’ve had theNintendo Switchlaunch plus Black Friday sales on the already-available versions. That number has surely skyrocketed. If you’ve exhausted all there is to do inHogwarts Legacy- and let’s be honest, it’s open world could do with building out - you may want to check out the very cool ‘Azkaban’mod. It goes without saying that this is one for PC players only.

The description reads, “Avada Kedavra, Imperius, and Cruciatus — are known as the unforgivable curses. The use of any one of them on any sentient life is enough to earn a life sentence in Azkaban.” It adds that once you’ve cast one of the spells, local authorities will turn up to try and arrest you. I’m imagining then that there is an opportunity to escape … or add to your body count in order to escape capture.

If you are caught, you’ll be presented with the option to ‘Stay in Azkaban’, ‘Load Game’, or ‘Exit to Main Menu’. I can’t imagine staying in Azkaban for the rest of the game is that thrilling. It sounds as if the mod is givingHogwarts Legacya fresh take on a permadeath mode. It’s a fun challenge if you struggle sticking to the wizarding straight and narrow.
