Hogwarts Legacy 2: everything we know so far

digitaltrends.com:

It’s time to brush up on your spells, charms, and potion knowledge because your letter inviting you back to Hogwarts has just arrived. Hogwarts Legacy was a massive hit for WB that captured the spirit of the novels with a new story set years before the events of the books. After porting the game to all major platforms, it was only a matter of time before a sequel was announced. There are still many mysteries and secrets surrounding what we’re calling Hogwarts Legacy 2, but we’ve cast a Revelio charm to uncover as many tidbits as possible.

Release speculation

The only thing we have to go on right now comes from a statement that Warner Bros Discovery Chief Financial Officer Gunnar Wiedenfels made in September 2024 in which he said: “Obviously, a successor to Hogwarts Legacy is one of the biggest priorities in a couple of years down the road.” Since games of this size and scale tend to take at least four years to develop, this new game may not see the light of day until 2028 or 2027 if Avalanche had already begun work on it prior to this statement.

Platforms

Hogwarts Legacy was available on all platforms, so we would expect the sequel to also be available everywhere. Based on the time frame, that would be the Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro, PC, and hopefully the Switch 2 as well.

Trailers

There are no trailers, screenshots, or even pieces of concept art for Hogwarts Legacy 2 as of now. One thing we do know via Variety is that the game’s story will be connected to the upcoming Harry Potter HBO series. This could imply a very different time period from the original game since the series is a retelling of the novels, while the game was set years before them. Or, it could be that Hogwarts Legacy 2 will somehow act as a proper prequel to the show. Considering WB chose to call the game a “successor”
