It's official: Hogwarts Legacy 2 is in development, to which Warner Bros. is giving "high priority"

The role-playing game Hogwarts Legacy was undoubtedly a big success for Warner Bros.' gaming division. It became the best-selling game of 2023 and its sales exceeded 30 million copies in a year and a half after its release.

Many were convinced that a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy was already in development and it turned out to be true!

Here's What We Know

Representatives of Warner Bros. told the portal Variety about a large-scale plan to develop the Harry Potter franchise. In the coming years, the company plans to release many media projects: it will be a reality show, the first of which - "Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking" - will start on 14 November on Food Network and Max channels, series-reimagining from HBO, mobile games, theme parks, merch and, of course, video games.

Executives at Warner Bros. Games have confirmed that a Hogwarts Legacy sequel is already in development and that project has been given "high priority." However, the article doesn't mention which studio is developing the game. It is possible that Avalanche Studios, the creator of the original game, is working on the sequel.

The article emphasises that "Hogwarts Legacy 2" will complement the narrative of HBO's Harry Potter series, which suggests that they will be released in the same period. But either way, the release of Hogwarts Legacy 2 won't happen anytime soon.
