Warner Bros. Discovery Confirms Hogwarts Legacy Sequel
A Sequel Expected Within a Few Years
Warner Bros. Discovery has confirmed development plans for a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy, the record-breaking Harry Potter game that sold over 24 million copies in 2023. During the Bank of America’s 2024 Media, Communications & Entertainment Conference, CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels highlighted the sequel as a top priority for the company, stating (as reported by Variety) that it represents "a significant growth contribution" to their future plans. He projected the sequel's release for "a couple of years down the road."
Warner Bros. Games' David Haddad previously emphasized the game's remarkable replayability as a key factor in its success. In an earlier interview with Variety, Haddad noted the high number of players who revisited the game multiple times. Beyond sales figures and replay value, Haddad highlighted the game's ability to bring the Harry Potter world to life in a fresh and engaging way for gamers, allowing players to experience the story as themselves. This resonated powerfully with fans, propelling Hogwarts Legacy to the top of the sales charts, a position typically held by established franchises' sequels. Haddad expressed pride in breaking into the top ranks.
Game8 was particularly impressed by Hogwarts Legacy's stunning visuals, calling it the most breathtaking visual experience a Harry Potter fan could hope for. For a detailed review, follow the link below!
