Hogwarts Legacy is finally being released this week after loads of anticipation, and players are wondering: can you get pets in Hogwarts Legacy? One of the things that players often get very excited for is the opportunity to have a furry companion throughout their gameplay experience, and we’re here to let you know that it’s very likely. Given the fact that within the movies and books, Ron keeps his rat with him, Hermione has a pet cat, and even Neville has a pet toad, it only seems fair that we should be able to keep pets with us throughout our time at Hogwarts as well. Keep reading to see if you can get pets in Hogwarts Legacy.
Hogwarts Legacy: Can You Get Pets?
It hasn’t officially been confirmed whether or not pets will be an addition to the new Hogwarts Legacy game. Though, within the game’s trailers, it seems more than evident that students will have their own pets with them, which gives up hope. Within the trailers, we’ve seen both cats and owls, which makes sense. You can’t have Hogwarts without at least a few owls! How else would the students get their mail? Though, there is still no official announcement of pets within Hogwarts Legacy.
Though, there is something similar that has been confirmed. Within the game, you will be able to take care of Magical Beasts and develop friendships with them. The magical beasts that you will spend time within in-game have been confirmed to be treated much like domesticated animals, making them essentially pets. Really big and wild pets. Throughout your time in Hogwarts Legacy, we know for sure that you will encounter several magical beasts including Hippogriffs, Trolls, Niffler, Kneazle, Acromantulas, Centaurs, Thestrals, and even Dragons. In addition, you’ll even be able to ride some of the beasts as mounts, like Hippogriffs and Thestrals.
If we do get to obtain pets within Hogwarts Legacy, there’s a good chance that we’ll have to save up some gold and pick them up from shops within the game that can be found in different locations like Hogsmeade. Though, it would make quite a bit of sense for us to be able to purchase or choose a pet when we visit Diagon Alley in preparation for our first year at Hogwarts.
