Is Changing Weather Possible in Hogwarts Legacy?

The weather in Hogwarts Legacy is certainly going to be changing but whether a player can control that is still not confirmed. Numerous reports and gameplay previews have shown the same parts of maps during different seasons, which means you will experience Hogwarts in its full beauty.

One thing you will be able to change is the day and night cycle. If you want to pick up some collectibles that are available only during the night or if you just want to complete your missions at a certain time of day, you can do that by pulling up the map and pressing R3. This option doesn’t exactly change the weather in some sort of magic fashion but instead allows you to wait and fast forward to the time of day you prefer.

Diverse weather effects and day/night cycle offer opportunities for unique quest-solving. So if you and your friend have completed the same mission in the main storyline of Hogwarts Legacy, it won’t mean that you experienced it in the same way. You might have completed the mission on a sunny day, while your friend could have done the same on a stormy winter night.
