HUGE Update for Hogwarts Legacy 2! (FINALLY!)

Harry Potter Theory

Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory.

In what seems like just the last couple of years (but in reality has spanned nearly a DECADE), Warner Bros. has faced some challenges when releasing new Harry Potter IP- particularly the "Fantastic Beasts" film series. These high-budget films which dropped in 2016, 2018, and 2022 respectively struggled to find traction at the global box office and didn’t quite hit the mark for most fans. And for these reasons, it’s unlikely that the Fantastic Beasts films will ever continue, stopping 2 films shy of the 5 film projection originally provided.

However, Warner Bros. found a bright spot in 2023 with the release of Hogwarts Legacy, which seemed to really strike a chord with Harry Potter fans worldwide. The game topped sales charts as the best-selling game of 2023 across ALL platforms and ALL genres- beating out Call of Duty, Madden, Zelda, Diablo and more. And since the game’s release over 30 MILLION copies have been sold.

Encouraged by this success, Warner Bros. Games released Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions in August, remastered the Lego Harry Potter game collection, and granted licenses for several new mobile games.

But the biggest bit of news is that a Hogwarts Legacy SEQUEL has apparently become a ‘very big priority’.
