The last State of Play for Hogwarts Legacy was the opportunity to discover the character creation, the exploration of the castle of Hogwarts, the fights against the various enemies, the fantastic animals or even the housing and the making of potions.
The crafting system
During a part of the explanations we discovered that it will be possible to access a housing part with our fantastic animals but also that it will be necessary to plant different ingredients to obtain resources. Mandrake or even dictame, these elements will be necessary for the preparation of potions and we can very clearly see a time system like in most free-to-play mobile games. This therefore worried the players: will there be microtransactions in the game in order to buy time boosts or simply cosmetics to dress our avatar?
No, there will be no microtransactions in Hogwarts Legacy
The game's community manager, Chandler Wood, spoke immediately after the revelation of the State of Play, on Twitter. Many press articles were quick to indicate that Hogwarts Legacy would likely be filled with microtransactions following the introduction of the Room of Requirement, but that is not the case. At around 60 or 70 euros (depending on the platform), the Harry Potter RPG will be complete from the start and you will not have to checkout for anything in the game. You will simply have to farm the in-game money by completing side quests, solving mysteries or finding chests in dungeons.
The information was also confirmed on the game's official website . In the Frequently Asked Questions section, we read in black and white that Hogwarts Legacy will not offer any microtransactions as it is an entirely single-player game with no online multiplayer or local co-op.
It remains to be seen now how we can really speed up time (and if we can) in the game. Perhaps simply with the money collected or special crystals? The same goes for the multitude of cosmetics presented in the trailer: will you simply have to farm the money to be able to add tons of clothes to your wardrobe? In any case, it promises a good lifespan.
