Warner Bros. Discovery Confirms Hogwarts Legacy Sequel
A Sequel Expected Within the Next Few Years
Warner Bros. Discovery has officially announced its intention to create a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy, the Harry Potter-themed action RPG 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 key priority for the company, stating (as reported by Variety) that it represents "one of the biggest priorities in a couple of years down the road," and a significant contributor to future growth.
Earlier this year, Warner Bros. Games' David Haddad (in an interview with Variety) emphasized the game's remarkable replayability as a major factor in its success. He noted the high number of players who revisited the game multiple times. Beyond sales figures and replayability, Haddad highlighted the game's success in bringing the Harry Potter world to life in a new and engaging way for gamers, allowing them to experience the story as themselves. This resonated deeply with the community, propelling Hogwarts Legacy to the top of the sales charts, a position typically occupied by sequels from established franchises. The company expressed significant pride in achieving this milestone.
Game8 was particularly impressed by Hogwarts Legacy's stunning visuals, deeming it the ultimate visual experience for Harry Potter fans. For a detailed review, please visit the link below.
