Hogwarts Legacy 2 In Production At Warner Bros. Games

Hogwarts Legacy 2 is now in production at Warner Bros. Games, the studio confirmed on Tuesday.

The news comes via Variety.

According to the report, the sequel to the best-selling game of 2023 is a “very big priority” for those at Warner Bros. As far as what the focus of the next game will be, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment President David Haddad says it will coordinate story elements with the upcoming HBO series.

“He notes that the success of Hogwarts Legacy helped stoke confidence that the time was right to make a major Potter push: ‘The rest of the company was very curious about what we helped to unlock with ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ last year’,” the report reads.

The confirmation of a sequel being in production should come as no surprise to anyone. Hogwarts Legacy has sold more than 24 million copies, and was even called “one of the biggest priorities” by Warner Bros. Discovery CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels.

When he made those comments in September, however, Wiedenfels mentioned that it was “a couple of years down the road”.

As far as the original Hogwarts Legacy game, there is still more to come. Insider Gaming first reported in October that a definitive edition of the game was in development that will include 10-15 hours of additional content.

More on Hogwarts Legacy 2, or whatever the game will be named, will come at a later date.

"Haddad says the games team has been coordinating some of the big-picture storytelling elements in the “Hogwarts Legacy” sequel with the storylines that will play out in the “Harry Potter” HBO series coming from Warner Bros. Television."

From the Variety article found here: https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/harry-potter-franchise-future-tv-series-video-games-1236201249/

Isn't the TV show a "remake" of the film adaptation? How will they be able to assimilate what will probably be 15 years of TV show into a game? Please WB, don't tell me you've just seen Hogwarts Legacy sell 30m+, suicide squad fall flat on its face and come to the conclusion to make Hogwarts Legacy 2 live service with an expectation of 1 and a half decades of life...

A true sequel will no doubt be another wicked game. Trying to follow storylines that won't finish until 2040 doesn't spark confidence though 😅

Tying it to the TV show is stupid. Should be it's own story and whatnot but release around the Harry Potter TV show because it would boost the numbers which has happened for TLOU, The Witcher III, Cyberpunk 2077 and Fallout 4/76.
