One extremely dedicated Hogwarts Legacy player has already managed to beat the game while playing as all four houses. The gamer has managed to do it without a New Game+ option for Hogwarts Legacy, making the feat all the more impressive.
With the title delighting long-time fans of the Harry Potter franchise, it's no surprise that players are committing to crazy challenges in Hogwarts Legacy. It's part of the appeal of the game - the opportunity for players to explore Hogwarts and play exactly how they want to play. Some players will be focused on collecting everything, others will focus on creating beautiful vivariums, and like this player, others will look to beat the game as fast as possible with every house. This freedom is a huge positive that will keep gamers invested for some time to come.
Beating the game as all four houses is no small feat not even a month from release, but it has been completed by Redditor Azer951009. As well as this, the player has also managed to get every achievement in the game after 221 hours of play. At just over nine days of gaming, that's an enormous amount of Hogwarts Legacy since its release, but it was necessary to complete this challenge. Players of Avalanche Software's latest title are still finding brand-new ways to play the game, with another player finding a hilarious way to cheese troll fights in Hogwarts Legacy. As the game gets older, gamers will only uncover more of what the game has hidden away to find. The full post can be viewed on Reddit here.
Picking a house in Hogwarts Legacy is one of the biggest decisions that players undertake in the game, and is something that has always been important to Harry Potter fans. In this case, the player has averted this difficult choice and gone with all four. Interestingly, based on the save slot positions, it appears that Azer951009 may have picked Ravenclaw for their first playthrough. Their achievement history posted in the thread would back this up, displaying a Ravenclaw-based achievement being unlocked before others.
Hogwarts Legacy has so far been a huge success critically and commercially. It seems to be the Wizarding World game that fans of the franchise have always dreamed of, and it provides a brilliant base for future Harry Potter developers to look back to. Previously, the franchise's video game history was composed mostly of half-baked movie tie-in movies, but Avalanche Software has put a stop to that. Despite the developer's insistence that no DLC is currently planned for Hogwarts Legacy, hopefully, Avalanche Software change course and gets the opportunity to bring more of Hogwarts to life.
Hogwarts Legacy is out now for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X with PS4 and Xbox One versions coming April 4 and a Nintendo Switch port dropping July 25.
