Hogwarts Legacy was the best-selling game last year, and is one of the most successful releases of all time. It stands to reason, then, as Warner Bros looks to create a new wave of content based on the seminal series of novels, a sequel is on the way.
And yes, according to Variety, a successor to the open world role-playing game is a “very big priority” for the firm. We’ve known for a little time that developer Avalanche Software has been working on a sequel, and its importance has been made clear in the past.
One new detail, however, is that the game will intertwine with HBO’s upcoming television series adaptation, slated to release in 2026.
“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,” the site reports.
