What is the Hogwarts Legacy deluxe edition pre-order bonus?

The pre-order bonus for the deluxe edition of Hogwarts Legacy is the Dark Arts Pack.

According to the Hogwarts Legacy trailer, The Dark Arts pack is for the digital deluxe edition pre-orders, and will include a number of exciting add-ons for players to use in-game. Below is a list of everything included in the pack.

• Thestral Mount

• Onyx Hippogriff Mount
• Dark Arts Garrison Hat
• 72 Hours Early Access

The most eye-grabbing inclusion in the pre-order list is the 72-hour early access window. While the rest of the benefits are mostly for cosmetic purposes, the chance to get and play the game early is a surprising extra that many fans would feel is worth the investment of a deluxe edition.

Pre-orders for Hogwarts Legacy will begin on August 15, 2022 at 8 AM PT, giving those interested in the game plenty of time to snag a copy early before the release date next year.
