Following the successful launch of Quidditch Champions this week, Warner Bros. Discovery has announced its commitment to a sequel for the immensely popular Hogwarts Legacy, the best-selling game of 2023.
Warner Bros. Discovery Confirms Hogwarts Legacy Sequel
A Sequel Expected Within a Few Years
The company confirmed its plans for a Hogwarts Legacy sequel during Bank of America's 2024 Media, Communications & Entertainment Conference, as reported by Variety. With over 24 million copies sold, the Harry Potter-themed action RPG's success is undeniable. Warner Bros. Discovery CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels stated that, "Obviously, a successor to Hogwarts Legacy is one of the biggest priorities in a couple of years down the road." He further emphasized the game's significant contribution to the company's future growth.
Earlier this year, David Haddad of Warner Bros. Games highlighted the game's remarkable replayability in an interview with Variety. He noted the high number of players returning for multiple playthroughs. Beyond sales figures and replayability, Haddad emphasized the game's success in bringing the Harry Potter world to life in a fresh and engaging way for gamers, allowing them to experience the story as themselves. This aspect, he believes, is key to its phenomenal reception and its achievement as the year's top-selling title, a position typically held by established franchises' sequels.
Game8 was particularly impressed by Hogwarts Legacy's stunning visuals, praising it as a truly exceptional visual experience for Harry Potter fans. For a more detailed review, please follow the link below!
