Despite its controversies, Hogwarts Legacy became one of the biggest hits of 2023, selling more than 30 million units across all platforms on which it was available. While we have known for some time that a sequel was on the minds of Warner Bros., a recent report has confirmed that Hogwarts Legacy 2 is already in production.
According to Variety, David Haddad, president of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, has confirmed that a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy is already in development, with the support of the series’ overall narrative team within the company. Here’s what Haddad had to say:
We have known for some time that fans are looking for more things in this world, and so we’re spending a lot of time thinking about that. Our insights tell us that there are not huge distinctions between a younger version of a fan and an older version of a fan. They’re just deep ‘Harry Potter’ fans, and we try to build authentic experiences to delight them
Notably, Haddad mentioned that the Hogwarts Legacy team has been coordinating some of the sequel’s general narrative elements with the stories that will be set in HBO’s Harry Potter series. While we don’t know exactly what this means at the moment, it’s very likely that the new installment will take place alongside, or in a similar timeframe to, the series that will adapt J.K. Rowling’s books.
Unfortunately, there is no release date for this title at the moment, but it’s likely that it will be some time before we see the sequel to Hogwarts Legacy in our hands.
