Hogwarts Legacy: ‘Walk the Path of Harry or Even the Path of the Dark Lord’ With the New GTA RP Inspired Mod in the Fanmade Multiplayer

Avalanche Software’s open-world RPG based on the Harry Potter universe, Hogwarts Legacy, is already garnering some highly positive reviews from fans and critics alike. But the game has a glaring shortcoming, the lack of multiplayer mode. Ever since the release, a group of fans has been very vocal about their demand for a multiplayer mode in the game. 

However, there haven’t been any statements from the developers about a future multiplayer mode. From the beginning, Avalanche and Warner Brothers had planned to make the game a single-player exclusive. So the chances for an online mode are very bleak. That is why, to have what they want, fans took the matter into their hands.

GTA-style Hogwarts Legacy RP mod in the works

When the developers refrained from sharing any plans for a future online mode or servers, a group of fans got busy building their own RP (roleplay) servers for the game. Much like GTA, these servers will offer online lobbies for players to join each other’s games and progress or have fun in the overworld together.

So far the updates on the Hogwarts Legacy RP mod are limited, but according to a recent report, the works on the server seem to have progressed quite a bit. Full Squad Gaming posted a recent update on their Twitter regarding the Hogwarts Legacy RP servers progression.

In the tweet, they reported that a multiplayer mod named Hogwarp, is in development by The Together Team. They are the creators of the renowned Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Together mod. In the tweet, they featured video footage of the mod in action. While it seems to be somewhat functional, the lags and frame drops are also visible.

Will there be a multiplayer update in the future? 

Though Hogwarts was initially planned to be a single-player adventure, it doesn’t mean the hopes for a multiplayer mod are completely unreasonable. There have already been some rumors about a future update that will bring the widely missing Quidditch sport to the game. There are speculations that Quidditch being a team-based game, the in-game variant, may offer a multiplayer aspect to the gameplay. 

Also looking at the last year’s game of the year, Elden Ring, which recently received a massive update that introduced Arenas and online team fights, fans believe it won’t be too surprising for Hogwarts to follow their example. But in the end, nothing can be said for sure based on fan speculations.
