The Hogwarts Legacy video game was a major hit in 2023, selling over 30 million copies globally. Warner Bros. has confirmed that a sequel to the game is a "very big priority" for the company.
According to reports, the sequel to Hogwarts Legacy will "coordinate some of the big-picture storytelling elements" with the upcoming Harry Potter TV series being developed for HBO. This suggests the game sequel may feature storylines or characters that tie into the events of the TV show, though the exact nature of the connection is still unclear.
Warner Bros. executives have stated that the company is eager to "build authentic experiences to delight" Harry Potter fans, and sees the success of Hogwarts Legacy as helping to "unlock" new opportunities for the franchise across different media. So fans can likely expect the sequel to build upon the rich wizarding world established in the first game, while potentially incorporating elements from the forthcoming HBO series as well.
