Hogwarts Legacy 2 is confirmed – but not any time soon

Hogwarts Legacy became such a success that players are curious about the prospects of a sequel, and while it’s now been confirmed to be coming, there are a few key downsides for its upcoming release.

Hogwarts Legacy quickly proved to be incredibly popular amongst Harry Potter fans all over the world, with many delving into The School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to learn everything about spells, creatures, and concealed mysteries.

However, after such success, many will be curious to know whether a sequel will be released to expand upon the enthralling elements it offers. So, to ensure you’re fully up to date, here’s all we know about Hogwarts Legacy 2.

Will there be a Hogwarts Legacy 2?

Yes, a follow-up to Hogwarts Legacy is in the works. While it may have seemed obvious from the jump, given the first game’s immense commercial success, it wasn’t until September 4, 2024 we heard official confirmation.

Warner Bros. Discovery’s Gunnar Wiedenfels was first to speak publicly on the idea of a sequel, confirming without question a “successor” to Hogwarts Legacy is “one of the biggest priorities.”

However, fans shouldn’t hold their breath in waiting for more news. Wiedenfels then added the sequel could still be “a couple of years down the road.”

Since 2025 is such a massive year for gaming, with tons of new releases like Borderlands 4, Civilization 7, Dune Awakening, Fable, and so much more, it would make sense for Hogwarts Legacy to release around 2026 or 2027. After all, a game as expansive as Hogwarts Legacy will take plenty of time to craft and perfect.

Hogwarts Legacy sold 12M copies and earned $850M in just two weeks. Not only that, but the title also received a huge amount of praise from reviewers, with our own stating just how immersive and magical the experience was. 

At the beginning of 2024, Warner Bros. also confirmed that Hogwarts Legacy was the highest-grossing game of 2023, promising that they will continue to expand the Harry Potter gaming universe in multiple ways.

One such avenue is the fully realized Quidditch title called Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, which released on September 3, 2024.

With the Quidditch game now in the spotlight and the new TV adaptation from MAX, it’s clear the Harry Potter IP is firing on all cylinders once again. Hogwarts Legacy 2 will be another cherry on top when it eventually makes a splash, perhaps with the launch of the next console generation.

What will the sequel be about?

While the exact plot details for Hogwarts Legacy’s sequel are slim, we can confirm that the game will be directly connected to the upcoming TV series.

In a November, 2024 interview with Variety, it was revealed that “the games team has been coordinating some of the big-picture storytelling elements in the “Hogwarts Legacy” sequel with the storylines that will play out in the “Harry Potter” HBO series coming from Warner Bros. Television.”
