Rumor has it that a Director's Cut of Warner Bros' critically acclaimed RPG Hogwart's Legacy could be in the works. It is believed that Rocksteady — the studio behind the Batman: Arkham series and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League — could be partnering with Avalanche Software on the Hogwart's Legacy Director's Cut. Warner Bros. has kept tight-lipped about the undertaking, but judging by the game's popularity, the additional content is almost certain to be a love letter to fans of the Harry Potter franchise.

At the moment, specific details are few and far between, but judging by the common definition of a director's cut, players can expect never-before-seen gameplay, new quests, cosmetics, and maybe even some technical enhancements. For example, the Death Stranding Director's Cut received new graphics options, DualSense support for PlayStation 5 users, new combat abilities, a firing range, a racetrack and Roadster, new cosmetics, and so much more. If Hogwart's Legacy receives even half as many touch-ups, it could drastically improve the game's longevity.
