Hogwarts Legacy, the highly anticipated open-world Harry Potter game, has recently received an update that has caused quite a stir among its player base. The patch notes for the update did not mention a controversial change that was made: the Unforgivable Curses are no longer usable in the boss fight against Cassandra Mason. Hogwarts Legacy Update: Controversial Change Made Without Disclosure in Patch Notes.

Understanding the Unforgivable Curses

For those unfamiliar with the Harry Potter lore, the Unforgivable Curses are three spells that are considered to be the most heinous and are illegal to use in the Wizarding World. These spells include Crucio, which inflicts unbearable pain on the victim; Imperio, which allows the caster to control the target’s actions; and Avada Kedavra, also known as the Killing Curse, which causes instant death to anyone hit with it.

Controversial Change in Latest Update

In Hogwarts Legacy, players can learn and use all three Unforgivable Curses. However, the latest update has removed their usage during the boss fight against Cassandra Mason, a character who only appears in the game’s PlayStation-exclusive Hogsmeade quest.

The patch notes only mentioned that the game would crash if players used Avada Kedavra on Cassandra Mason at the beginning of the boss fight. It is unclear whether this issue caused the developers to restrict the usage of all Unforgivable Curses or if they intentionally removed them. Speculations suggest that an Auror being present during the fight could be a reason for this change, but nothing is confirmed.

Reactions from the Fanbase

The removal of Unforgivable Curses has disappointed many players who were curious to see how these spells would be implemented in the game. Players have taken to social media to express their disapproval of the change, with some calling for the spells to be reinstated.

Who is Cassandra Mason?

Cassandra Mason is a boss character who appears exclusively in the Hogsmeade quest, available only to players on PlayStation consoles. This character is yet to appear in versions of the game on other platforms.

Hogwarts Legacy’s latest update has made a significant change that has sparked controversy among its player base. The removal of Unforgivable Curses from the boss fight against Cassandra Mason has disappointed many players.
