Gamers are going to have the best fall this year as the season is packed with a series of thrilling video game releases including Starfield and Mortal Kombat 1. However, for Potterheads, no video game announcement can beat this piece of news – a return to the enchanting world of Hogwarts with Hogwarts Legacy 2 is on the horizon.
Following the humongous success of Hogwarts Legacy, it seems like Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has set its sights on a sequel, leaving fans hopeful and speculating about its details. The whispers in the wizarding world suggest that the wheels are already in motion at Warner Bros. and soon, it’ll be time for fans to head back to the hallowed halls of Hogwarts.
Industry insider MyTimeToShineH shared the thrilling news on Twitter, confirming that development is officially underway for Hogwarts Legacy 2. “Sources confirmed that a Hogwarts Legacy sequel is in the works,” the handle tweeted.

Understandably, the gaming community is buzzing with excitement, speculating about what the sequel will bring to the table.
While there is no official information about Hogwarts Legacy 2’s release date and plot as yet, it’s safe to assume that, if players are to return for another round of schooling at Hogwarts, the game will need to introduce fresh activities and locales to maintain the immersion that defined the first instalment. Avalanche Software will likely need to conjure up something truly magical (pun not intended) to enthral returning players. Fortunately, given their track record, they seem up to the task.
Given the record-breaking success of the original game, a sequel always seemed like a logical next step. For the uninitiated, Hogwarts Legacy enchanted Potterheads worldwide, selling a staggering 15 million copies and generating an insane USD 1 billion in revenue. Remarkably, within the first two weeks of its February 2023 launch, the game had already sold 12 million copies.
Hogwarts Legacy graced store shelves in February 2023, allowing fans to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of Harry Potter as Hogwarts students. Set in the 1800s, a century prior to the events chronicled in J.K. Rowling’s beloved novels, Hogwarts Legacy is an expansive, open-world action RPG set in the wizarding universe. Players step into the shoes of a student holding the key to an ancient secret that threatens to unravel the very fabric of the wizarding world. In this adventure, players take control of their destiny and become the centre of their own wizarding tale.
