Today, Avalanche Software dropped a surprise for PC players of *Hogwarts Legacy*. On January 30, the game will receive an update to include built-in support for mods, allowing players to download them directly from the in-game menu. Additionally, the developers are releasing the *Hogwarts Legacy Creator Kit*, a modding tool available on the same day via the Epic Games Store.
The *Hogwarts Legacy Creator Kit* empowers players to craft new quests, dungeons, and character enhancements like cosmetics and skins. Mods created through this tool can be submitted to the platform called *CurseForge*, where they are curated and hosted by the platform. To access official Hogwarts Legacy mods, players need a linked Steam or Epic Games account tied to a Warner Bros. Games account. Players can link their accounts directly on the provided webpage.
Avalanche Software has also partnered with mod creators to offer ahead-of-arrival content, including a “Dungeon of Doom” mod featuring combat and hidden secrets, expanded broom replacements, character customization options, and more. Existing mods available through traditional methods remain accessible as well.
It’s worth noting that the game, which sold over 30 million units worldwide so far, continues to thrive despite rumors of an upcoming Definitive Edition. This update likely serves as a stepping stone while Avalanche Software and Warner Bros. Games work on prolonging the game’s life with future developments using Unreal Engine 5.
