Hogwarts Legacy Developer Hiring for New 'High-Profile AAA Title'

gamerant.com:

According to a new job listing, the developer behind the hit Hogwarts Legacy is seemingly working on its next AAA project. Avalanche Software's 2023 title emerged as one of the year's biggest games, with Hogwarts Legacy dominating the sales charts. With expectations set high for the studio's next venture, Avalanche Software appears to be recruiting developers for a new project.

The success of the Harry Potter-based game was unprecedented and marked an interesting year for WB Games. Within the first two weeks of its launch, Hogwarts Legacy was already the biggest Steam launch for WB Games and generated over $1 billion in sales during the first quarter alone. As the game continues to sustain its popularity, the probability of a sequel is also looking more likely, although the studio has yet to confirm a Hogwarts Legacy 2. While it will be some time until the studio announces any of its plans, a recent post might have offered a hint about Avalanche's next title.

As per a job listing, Warner Bros. Discovery is hiring a Lead/Advanced Technical Artist for its Avalanche Software studio. The post specifies that the studio is looking for someone with a «strong Unreal and Python/C++ experience» and that the role involves working with a team on a «high-profile AAA» title. In the backdrop of Hogwarts Legacy's dominance in 2023, rumors have already started claiming that Hogwarts Legacy 2 is currently in development. It also doesn't help that WBD CEO David Zaslov previously stated that the company hopes to keep exploring franchises like Harry Potter in the coming years. However, despite the expectations, the vacancy post doesn't offer any specific details about Avalanche's follow-up AAA project.

Of course, that's not to say there haven't been any post-launch updates for fans. Back in January, the developer stated that the PlayStation-exclusive content on Hogwarts Legacy will be coming to other platforms this summer. Avalanche also teased that «additional updates and features» are on
