Hogwarts Legacy fans can finally play a mode they’ve been asking for since the game launched last year, and it’s all thanks to the hard work of one dedicated gamer.

Hogwarts Legacy has generated well over $1 billion since launching back in February, and we still have the Nintendo Switch launch to come. Rumours abound that Avalanche Software is working on its next project, which is almost certainly Hogwarts Legacy 2.

The good news is that you can now enjoy New Game Plus in Hogwarts Legacy! The bad news? It’s not an official download. Still, PC gamers looking for an excuse to replay the magical sim as the nights draw in should definitely check this out.

The Hogwarts Legacy Simulate New Game Plus Save mod does exactly what it says: it starts you in a new game with a bunch of items and progression, similar to how it would go down in an official New Game Plus mode.

The only catch is that you obviously won’t start a new game with all the gear and upgrades you earned, as the modder can only simulate their own save. Still, if you fancy starting from scratch with a crap-ton of gear, gold, and all spells unlocked, then you should definitely go ahead and check this mod out.

Hopefully Avalanche Software give us the real thing somewhere down the line, but this will do until then.
