Warner Bros. Discovery Confirms Hogwarts Legacy Sequel
A Sequel Expected Within a Few Years
The company officially announced its intention to create a sequel to the hit action RPG, Hogwarts Legacy, which has sold over 24 million copies since its release. This confirmation came from Warner Bros. Discovery CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels during the Bank of America’s 2024 Media, Communications & Entertainment Conference, as reported by Variety.
Wiedenfels stated that, "A sequel to Hogwarts Legacy is a top priority for us in the next couple of years." He further emphasized the game's significant contribution to the company's growth projections.
Earlier this year, David Haddad of Warner Bros. Games highlighted the game's remarkable replayability as a key factor in its success, stating in a Variety interview that "many players have revisited the game multiple times." Haddad expressed pride not only in the sales figures and replayability but also in the game's ability to bring the Harry Potter world to life in a fresh and engaging way for gamers.
This immersive and personalized experience, according to Haddad, is what truly resonated with players, propelling Hogwarts Legacy to the top of the best-selling game charts for the year. He noted that this achievement is typically reserved for sequels from established franchises, making Hogwarts Legacy's success all the more remarkable.
Game8 was particularly impressed by the game's stunning visuals, calling it the most visually impressive Harry Potter experience available. For a detailed review, please visit our website (link omitted).
