Hogwarts Legacyis adding golf! After the constant fan requests and speculation, Avalanche Software our bringing the greatest game ever played to theworld of Hogwarts. Dubbed the ‘Clubs and Irons’ expansion, this Hogwarts Legacy add-on is said to release later this year.
If there were concerns about golf being added, fans can rest assured that this won’t just be a simple mini-game; golf will be brought to Hogwarts Legacy in all its glory. There will be putting challenges, long drive challenges, and full 18-hole courses in Hogwarts,Hogsmeade, and the Forbidden Forest. The one major change is using brooms for golf carts and trolls for caddies.
