Will there be a Hogwarts Legacy 2? Everything we know
Accio sequel!
With it being over a year since Avalanche Software dropped Hogwarts Legacy, we're well overdue news about a sequel. It was one of the biggest games of last year, selling over 30 million copies across the many platforms on which it released.
Someone at Warner Bros has shared some interesting information, and other sources suggest there might be a link to other Wizarding World media. There's a lot of speculation out there, which makes it difficult to know what to believe.
So, will there even be a Hogwarts Legacy 2? And if there is, when can we expect it? Will it release on pretty much every console like its predecessor? And what about the plot?
We'll share everything we know down below.
Will there be a Hogwarts Legacy 2?
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros Discovery CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels said that a Hogwarts Legacy sequel is a high priority after the huge success of the original last year.
Despite the tepid (to put it lightly) response to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, he still considers Warner Bros' gaming department to be a massive asset (phew!).
At a conference, Wiedenfels said: "It is, just like the film business, a hit-driven business. Obviously a successor to Hogwarts Legacy is one of the biggest priorities in a couple years down the road."
Also, in a Variety article by Jennifer Maas and KJ Yossman, it was suggested that the next game could tie in with the upcoming Harry Potter TV show from HBO. David Haddad, president of Warner Bros shared a lot of information about the future of the Wizarding World franchise.

It's difficult to know how the game and show will tie together (with the previous game set a century before the adventures of Potter), but you can read about our speculations in this area here.
So, while there's not a huge amount of information here (no release date, platform information), all signs point to us getting a Hogwarts Legacy sequel.
The words "a couple of years down the line" suggests that it will at least drop on the current generation of consoles. That said, with speculation of a PlayStation 6 already in the works, it's hard to know anything for sure.
If any other news surfaces we'll let you know right away, but this looks promising.
