Warner Bros. Games has cancelled a major expansion to Hogwarts Legacy as part of ongoing restructuring, as the company faces financial woes.
The planned expansion to the company’s biggest success in recent years would have added new storylines on its release later this year, alongside a “Definitive Edition” including all content.
However, according to a report from Bloomberg, the expansion has been scrapped – the expansion itself was never publicly announced, but was reported by the outlet last year.
In part, the expansion was cancelled due to the content not being substantial enough to justify its price, anonymous sources told Bloomberg.
Developer Avalanche was reportedly working with Rocksteady Studios on the expansion, which would restore a storyline based on a companion cut during development of the original game.
Last year, Rocksteady released its Suicide Squad live-service game, which was deemed a financial failure. Earlier this year, the studio suffered a round of layoffs, but is now reportedly working on a new single-player Batman game as it returns to its biggest success.
