Avalanche Software appears to be gearing up for a sequel to the immensely successful Hogwarts Legacy, as indicated by a recent job listing discovered by Game Rant. This development comes on the heels of Hogwarts Legacy making history as the best-selling video game of 2023 in the U.S., breaking the 14-year sales dominance held by Call of Duty and Rockstar titles. Hogwarts Legacy's Impressive Success Hogwarts Legacy has not only captured the hearts of Harry Potter fans but also achieved significant commercial success. Its record-breaking sales have made it one of the most notable games of 2023. Given this success, it's no surprise that Warner Bros. would consider a sequel. However, there has yet to be an official confirmation from the company. Avalanche Software's New Project A job listing from WB Games subsidiary Avalanche Software hints at the development of a new project, potentially a Hogwarts Legacy sequel. The listing seeks a Producer with experience in open-world RPGs or "action/magical combat games." While the listing does not explicitly confirm the sequel, it describes the role as part of "what's next" for Avalanche Software following Hogwarts Legacy. Potential Live-Service Elements in the Sequel Additionally, another job listing for a Senior Producer at Avalanche Software mentions a "new open world, action RPG" with plans for a "live ops" phase post-release. This suggests that the Hogwarts Legacy sequel could incorporate live-service elements. WB Games has been focusing on live-service models, despite the mixed reception of games like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Insider Information and Job Listings Known leaker MyTimetoShineHello claimed that Hogwarts Legacy 2 was greenlit by September 2023. Several job listings since then have pointed to the existence of such a project in early 2024. Given Avalanche Software's history as a one-project studio and its current size of around 250 employees, it seems unlikely they would be working on a project unrelated to Hogwarts Legacy. Development Timeline and Future Prospects Considering the lengthening development cycles for AAA games, a Hogwarts Legacy sequel might not be released until the late 2020s. By then, the tenth console generation is expected to be in full swing, suggesting that Hogwarts Legacy 2 could be a cross-generation release. Final Thoughts The hints and information gleaned from Avalanche Software's job listings strongly suggest that a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy is in the works. With the original game's monumental success, fans eagerly await what new adventures and magical experiences the sequel will bring. As we look forward to more official announcements, it's clear that the world of Hogwarts Legacy has only just begun to unfold. Also Read:
