While the Chamber of Secrets may not be accessible in Hogwarts Legacy, one player has seemingly spotted the Basilisk. This exciting discovery was made by, @MaximRagey, who posted their findings on Twitter. 

During the brief clip, the player can be seen running up the steps to the Slytherin common room before noticing a gigantic snake slithering past the door. Not only does the massive creature share the same green coloration as the Baslisk, but it is also not far from the chamber itself. 

While it’s unknown what caused this snake to appear or whether it has further implications for future content, it’s an incredibly exciting find. Whether the developers will add the Chamber of Secrets as part of any upcoming Hogwarts Legacy DLC remains to be seen, but for now, that’s everything we know.
