According to a recent Bloomberg report, Warner Bros. has canceled an unannounced paid DLC for the popular game, *Hogwarts Legacy*. The planned story expansion was set to launch this year, alongside a "Definitive Edition" of the game. However, the decision to cancel came this week, with sources citing concerns that "the amount of content was not substantial enough to justify the price being considered." Warner Bros. did not respond to Bloomberg's request for comment on this matter.
This move comes amidst a broader restructuring of Warner Bros.' gaming division, which has been grappling with financial challenges. Earlier in the year, the company canceled its anticipated Wonder Woman game and shut down the studio behind it, Monolith Productions, along with WB San Diego and MultiVersus studio Player First Games. Additionally, Warner Bros. laid off staff at Rocksteady in September of the previous year.
Despite the cancellation of the *Hogwarts Legacy* DLC, Warner Bros. continues to emphasize the importance of the *Harry Potter* franchise and *Hogwarts Legacy* specifically. The company has reiterated that a sequel to the game is "one of the biggest priorities," reflecting their focus on investing in fewer but more significant franchises. The original game has achieved remarkable success, selling over 30 million copies.
