Warner Bros. and Avalanche Software aren’t finished with Hogwarts Legacy just yet, as more content is coming in 2024.
On social media, it was announced that more updates and features are on the way. Also, the PlayStation-exclusive content will be offered “on other platforms later this summer”. Presumably Switch will be included, but we don’t have total confirmation just yet.
Nintendo and Capri Sun have formed a new partnership for a branding opportunity. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Pikmin 4 will appear on cartons and pouches of Capri Sun Fruit Punch, Strawberry Kiwi, and Pacific Cooler.
The partnership also includes a “Slurp and Win” sweepstakes, “combining the juice drink brand with fan-favorite characters like Mario, Isabelle and Pikmin.” It’s possible to scan the QR code on special edition Switch-branded Capri Sun cartons for a chance to win a Switch OLED system and a download code for a digital version of the game. 500 will be handed out in total.
The Nintendo and Capri Sun partnership appears to be available now. It will last until March 31 in stores and at online retailers.
