Warner Bros. is already developing a sequel to the hit Harry Potter-themed video game Hogwarts Legacy, and the project is one of the studio’s biggest priorities.
I’m still in the middle of playing the first game and as of right now, for me, there’s no ending in sight. I’m taking my sweet little time with the game, so I’m in no rush to play a sequel.
Warner Brothers Discover CFO Gunnar Widenfels said during Bank of America’s recent Media, Communications, and Entertainment Conference that the game is only a couple of years away from being released.
He said: “Obviously, a successor to Hogwarts Legacy is one of the biggest priorities in a couple of years down the road. So there is certainly a significant growth contribution from that [games] business in our strategic outlook here.”
Obviously, there are no details to share, but it will obviously be set at Hogwarts and I’m sure it will involve a bunch of new challenges and storylines for players to experience in a different time period.
Hogwarts Legacy is set in the 1800s, “Your character is a student who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart.
“You have received a late acceptance to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and soon discover that you are no ordinary student: you possess an unusual ability to perceive and master Ancient Magic.
“Only you can decide if you will protect this secret for the good of all, or yield to the temptation of more sinister magic.”
Did you enjoy playing the first game and are you excited to learn a sequel is in development?
