What's The Hogwarts Legacy PlayStation Exclusive?
Click to enlargeThe Hogwarts Legacy PlayStation system exclusive is a mission that's set in Hogsmeade. The premise is that a store owner named Madam Mason wants to sell her shop in Hogsmeade. However, you must see what's underneath the store and investigate a creepy environment before that happens. "Watch your step - not everyone who enters is able to escape the darkness," says the video description for the content's trailer.
The tone is definitely set with a haunted theme in mind. There are hung mannequins that are on the ceiling like dead bodies, and then the trailer reveals them attacking you as you try to explore the dungeon. It seems like you'll need the spell "Incendio" to succeed during this mission. Otherwise, it may be hard to deal with these typically inanimate beings.
