The most recent update forHarry Potter: Hogwarts Mysteryadded the usual content that fans expect.Year 5 Chapter 7was finally added, in addition to a new in-game event that lets players unlock a unique toad skin. For some players, the update also accidentally revealed a new area that will be coming as part of a different update in the future - a place called the Magical Creatures Reserve.
SomeHarry Potter: Hogwarts Mysteryfans were able to take a look at the Magical Creatures Reserve before Jam City removed it from the game. The Magical Creatures Reserve is going to be a new major area, featuring different sub-areas that players can explore as well. The sub-areas are as follows: Grasslands, Forest, Dark Forest, Lake, Rocky Mountains, and Volcanic Pasture.
Luckily, Reddit user blaiseivy was able to capture some footage of the Magical Creatures Reserve area before its removal. Take a look at the Magical Creatures Reserve coming toHogwarts Mysteryright here:
At this point, it’s unclear exactly when the Magical Creatures Reserve will actually be added to the game. After all, fans arestill waiting for Jam City to add Diagon Alley, despite the fact that it’s been in the locations list for months. The Magical Creatures Reserve doesn’t even show up as a locked option, so fans may have an especially long wait ahead of them before they can visit it properly.
On the other hand, it’s possible that the Magical Creatures Reserve is part of some tie-in content with the upcoming filmFantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, which is set to release in theaters in a couple of weeks. It would make sense forHogwarts Mysteryto capitalize on the new movie’s hype with some tie-in content, and since movie protagonist Newt Scamander is a magical creatures expert, it’s fitting that this new area is the Magical Creatures Reserve.
Before fans get too excited though, that’s just speculation. We’ll just have to wait for Jam City to be ready to share more concrete information before we can be sure.
