Hogwarts Legacy follow-up looks likely — "a series of other things" planned

radiotimes.com:

There's no denying that Hogwarts Legacy was one of the biggest games of last year, with millions of Harry Potter fans jumping at the chance to enrol in that iconic wizarding school and unravel a mystery decades before The Boy Who Lived was even born.

Thanks to a new interview by Variety, we now know exactly how many units were sold in 2023 for the game.

Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad confirms in the article that 22 million copes were sold by the end of the year, with two of those millions being shifted during the December holiday season.

Haddad added: «But it’s not just the unit sold that I’m so proud of, it’s just that it delighted the fans so much [...] It brought Harry Potter to life in a new way for gamers where they could be themselves in this world, in this story.» But this leads us to a question.

Although Haddad did not outright announce Hogwarts Legacy 2 in this interview, he did admit that «a series of other things» are in the works that will continue bringing the Harry Potter brand to gamers.

Haddad promises that these upcoming projects, which include the already-announced Quidditch Champions game, «will let the fans be part of this world and stories and characters in deeper and deeper ways».

We would be very surprised if Hogwarts Legacy 2, or another Wizarding World title from its developers at Avalanche, wasn't on that list.

But for now, no Hogwarts Legacy DLC or full sequel has been officially announced. We'd say it looks likely based on these quotes, but you never can tell what's going on behind the scenes.
