May be possible through Sebastian Sallow’s Relationship Line (to be confirmed)

Based on various game trailers and story previews released, it would seem that delving into the Dark Arts and eventually becoming a Dark Wizard may become possible through progressing through a particular relationship line with one of the game’s major characters.

Hogwarts Legacy - Sebastian Sallow

Sebastian Sallow, a student of Hogwarts’ Slytherin House, is among the named companion characters that you can befriend throughout the main story. As revealed from various official material, Sebastian has a twin sister named Anne who is suffering from a dreadful illness after being cursed by the goblin Ranrok. Sebastian soon comes to the conclusion that learning the Dark Arts is the only way to save his sibling.

A Sallow Grave Achievement

One of the game’s achievements, A Sallow Grave, can only be unlocked after you complete Sebastian Sallow’s relationship line. This means that you may have to align yourself with Sebastian and help him with his personal mission which may include the use of Dark Arts and other methods frowned upon by the school.
