In 2018, Jam City introduced the gaming industry to a free single-player RPG on mobile devices, “Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery.” In the realm of mobile gaming, enduring for five years is an impressive accomplishment considering the potential reliance on microtransactions. What’s even more astonishing, this mobile game reportedly garnered a remarkable $400 million by June 2022.
However, the world of “Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery” is poised to expand with the introduction of a free expansion. “Beyond Hogwarts” is now available, allowing players to experience the life of a grown witch or wizard. This expansion is accessible to those who have completed Year 7, Chapter 59 of the main game. Watch the trailer.
For the first time, the Q&A section of the Hogwarts Mystery blog post affirms, “We’re offering Harry Potter enthusiasts the unique opportunity to graduate from Hogwarts and continue their journey as their character matures and ventures into the broader Wizarding World.”
Continuing, the post elaborates: “A time has elapsed since graduation, with the initial assignments encompassing a rendezvous with Penny in Diagon Alley to learn about her post-school endeavours. Players will also engage in choosing their preferred abode, embellishing their apartment, and delving into the mystery of their inaugural occupation within the wizarding world.”
Adding to the excitement, there are novel characters and locales to explore, in addition to reuniting with old friends as the storyline unfolds. The most exhilarating facet is that, although Hogwarts remains a crucial part of the journey, adult witches and wizards will experience fresh and thrilling locations—a preview of these new realms is available through the updated world map menu.
Moreover, the tale doesn’t end here. Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has more to offer, with the developers promising additional content including events that delve into the Dark Arts, as well as special surprises for the Christmas season.
In related news, a remarkable mod has transformed Hogwarts Legacy with stunning ‘photorealistic’ graphics enhancements, and players have uncovered a vast concealed chamber. However, fans have turned their delight to the newly introduced Beyond Hogwarts Free Expansion.
