Notable industry leaker MyTimeToShineHello stated on social media (Twitter, now X) that sources have confirmed a Hogwarts Legacy sequel is in development. No further details were provided, but the leaker has been accurate about upcoming games in the past.
Given Hogwarts Legacy launched in February 2023, any sequel would likely still be in the early planning stages. However, publisher Warner Bros. has expressed satisfaction with Legacy’s sales figures, hinting they intend to continue utilizing the Harry Potter IP.
What Could a Sequel Explore?
As the original Hogwarts Legacy loosely followed events from the books and films, a sequel could take cues from the darker plot lines in later Harry Potter stories. The tone gradually shifts throughout the series, dealing with more mature themes in books 4-7.
A Hogwarts Legacy sequel set during those eras would enable the developers to craft a darker narrative. Fans might also hope to see appearances from significant characters who did not feature prominently in the first game.
Will Hogwarts Legacy 2 Have Co-Op Mode?
One of the chief complaints about Hogwarts Legacy was the lack of multiplayer. As an RPG focused on creating your own wizarding story, Legacy was a solely single-player experience.
However, fans have speculated a sequel might incorporate cooperative gameplay. The massive Hogwarts map is ripe for multiplayer adventures, perhaps letting friends team up to take on quests or freely roam the grounds.
Developers could look to similar wizarding games like Magicka for inspiration on implementing co-op spells and combat. Playing with friends would provide exciting new dimensions to the Hogwarts experience.
What We Know So Far About Hogwarts Legacy 2
- The leak indicates Hogwarts Legacy 2 is in early development
- The sequel is likely years away, given the original’s recent launch
- Could explore darker narrative elements from later Harry Potter stories
- Fans hoping for co-op multiplayer gameplay opportunities
The future is bright for the magical world of Hogwarts in games, although fans will need patience as any potential sequel is likely years away. For now, wand enthusiasts can continue enjoying Hogwarts Legacy and speculate on the next chapter’s adventures.
