With the successful Hogwarts Legacy that was released in 2023. The first game sold more than 12 million copies and generated $850 million in global sales revenue within two weeks. That game’s revenue reached $1 billion, and by the end of October 2024, global sales totaled 30 million copies.
According to Variety, the sequel is in development and is coordinating storylines with the upcoming ‘Harry Potter’ HBO series.
JK Rowling is not involved in managing the franchise, but WBD executives keep her updated via her literary agent. “If we’re going to ever go beyond a canon conversation, we make sure that we’re all comfortable with what we’re doing”.
I loved Hogwarts Legacy. It’s one of my favorite games. From the story to the classes to the magic. The world that they created in this game has been amazing. Am I excited for a sequel? Damn right. Am I happy that they are somewhat working with the HBO series? I’m not sure.
It’s not because I’m not a fan of the HBO series, it’s just that we have not seen it yet so we don’t know how it will go. I mean the movies were incredible so the HBO series has a lot to live up to. If it’s true in what they have said about following the books, then the series will be great but ultimately will always be second to the movies.
The studio has my full trust in this sequel. They just need to add a few more things to make the sequel game even more better. They need to add the likes of more classes, more magic, more character creation, and especially Quidditch.
