Does Hogwarts Legacy have romance options?

Hogwarts Legacy is a vast open-world, action RPG, but does it allow players to romance other characters in the Wizarding World? Here’s everything you need to know about romance options in Hogwarts Legacy.

Harry Potter fans are finally stepping through the doors of Hogwarts Legacy for the first time, ready to fully immersive themselves in this magical world. Players can look forward to a giant open world to discover, packed with quirky characters and fantastic beasts.

As an action RPG, witches and wizards may be wondering if there are any romance options in Hogwarts Legacy, similar to other titles like The Witcher or Fallout.

We’ve put together everything you need to know about romance in Hogwarts Legacy.

Can you romance characters in Hogwarts Legacy?

The Hogwarts Legacy developers, Avalance Software, have confirmed that there are no romance options in the game. Fellow students and teachers can accompany you on missions, but these relationships can’t go further.

In an interview with GamePro, Narrative Lead Moira Squier and Game Designer Kelly Murphy explained that the feature would be “difficult to manage,” considering that the main character is 15 years old when the game begins.

Our wizard or witch joins the school in their fifth year, but students ranging from 11 up to 18 attend Hogwarts and can be seen roaming the campus. With this in mind, the devs understandably decided not to include romance options altogether.

However, this doesn’t mean that romance options won’t come later down the line. There has been no word yet on DLC for Hogwarts Legacy, but the game is expected to receive post-launch support.

Although the devs seemingly wanted to steer clear of the feature for now, it could easily be added in the future if they find a way to handle it in the right manner. We’ll be sure to update this page with any future announcements.
