Hogwarts Legacy Official Modding Update Arrives January 30: Here’s What to Expect

It’s been a while since Hogwarts Legacy got a major content update, but PC players are about to have a field day with what’s next. Avalanche Software has announced an exciting addition that will officially bring modding support to the Wizarding World—and it’s dropping very soon!

The Modding Update: What You Need to Know

Avalanche Software revealed that starting Thursday, January 30, PC players will have access to a free modding update, unlocking the potential for custom content in Hogwarts Legacy.

This update includes:

• The Creator Kit: Modders can download this toolkit for free via the Epic Games Store to start crafting their own magic.
• In-Game Mod Manager: Players will be able to easily find, download, and use mods directly in-game, simplifying the whole process for mod enthusiasts.

What Can You Create?

The possibilities with the Creator Kit are as wide as the Forbidden Forest. Here are just a few ideas the tools unlock:

• Cosmetics: New hair colors, character outfits, and more!
• Playable Content: Build custom quests, dungeons, and adventures.
• New Modes of Transport: Want to ditch your broomstick? Mods can introduce options like flying rugs, dragons, or even a Phoenix!

Day-One Content from the Devs and Modders

To kick off the fun, Avalanche has teamed up with modders to release a set of user-generated content that will be available as soon as the update launches. Some highlights include:

• Fresh Hairstyles and Wardrobes: Glam up your witch or wizard with new looks.
• Dungeon of Doom: An endless dungeon with combat challenges and secret pathways.
• Magical Creature Quests: Fetch quests revolving around new and beloved magical creatures.

Why This Update Matters

This is Hogwarts Legacy’s first foray into officially supporting mods, and it’s a massive step forward for the game’s longevity. Fans can bring their wildest ideas to life, from wacky cosmetic changes to fully fleshed-out expansions that rival the base game’s content.

And for players who’ve been flying around on their trusty broomsticks for nearly two years, the idea of riding a dragon or exploring player-made dungeons might be just the thing to reignite the magic.

What’s Next for Hogwarts Legacy?

While modding is the current focus, Warner Bros. Discovery CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels recently teased that a Hogwarts Legacy sequel is already a top priority for the company. With PC modding now part of the equation, it’s safe to say the Wizarding World is more alive than ever.
