Fans of the new Wizarding World game will certainly be hoping so.<\/p>\n<p>After all, New Game Plus is a mechanic that sprinkles novelty into replaying a game. Once we\u2019ve reached the conclusion, and finished every little side quest, many players want to do it all again. And with New Game Plus, we often get to carry over a few things from our original playthrough.<\/p>\n<p>So what about Hogwarts Legacy? It\u2019s a vast game with lots of spells and skills to learn, so it would be nice to go through the story once again without having to relearn it all.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll share all we know about it below!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Does Hogwarts Legacy have New Game Plus at launch?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At the time of writing, <strong>there is no New Game Plus option in Hogwarts Legacy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are a couple of options once you\u2019ve finished the story and watched the end credits.<\/p>\n<p>You can choose to start again with a new character, plump for a <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/hogwarts-legacy-house-sorting-quiz\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">different house<\/a> and check out the other <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/hogwarts-legacy-common-rooms\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">common rooms<\/a>. Perhaps you\u2019ll <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/hogwarts-legacy-morality\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">go a little evil<\/a> this time, and aim for a <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/does-hogwarts-legacy-have-multiple-endings\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">different ending<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>There are in fact <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/hogwarts-legacy-trophies-achievements\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Hogwarts Legacy trophies<\/a> tied to each house, so players aiming for the Platinum will need to try every different option if they want to hit 100 per cent completion.<\/p>\n<p>The game has a great replay value in that regard, because it can be a different game every time. Or you could carry on playing after the credits with your original character. There are bound to be a lot of things you missed as you went through the story!<\/p>\n<p>But will there be a New Game Plus option eventually?<\/p> <h2><strong>Will Hogwarts Legacy have New Game Plus?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At the time of writing there haven\u2019t been any announcements with regards to a New Game Plus. Nor are there any particularly massive rumours circulating.<\/p>\n<p>However, that doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t speculate\u2026<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When could Hogwarts Legacy get New Game Plus?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Even though the option isn\u2019t there at the moment, Hogwarts Legacy is still in its early days \u2013 and we know for a fact that it is possible for New Game Plus to be added through a patch at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>Last year\u2019s <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/god-of-war-ragnarok-review\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">God of War Ragnar\u00f6k<\/a> is a recent example.
