Choose Different Choices From First Playthrough

Choose different choices from the first playthrough

In this game, choices appear during quest play, and the story unfolds differently depending on the choice made. Since it is not possible to cover all choices with just one playthrough, try choosing different choices from the first playthrough during subsequent playthroughs.

Possibility of Multiple Endings

It seems that Hogwarts Legacy also has a chance of multiple endings depending on your choices. If you choose different choices or actions from your previous playthrough, there is a possibility of seeing new endings.
