WB Games president David Haddad said Variety that Hogwarts Legacy 2, or whatever the game is called, could connect to the next Harry Potter television series somehow. However, it remains to be seen how this will happen. Hogwarts Legacy was set in the 1890s, while the television series is understood to be a remake of the Harry Potter books, which take place in the 1990s.

Whatever the case, Haddad said, “We’ve known for some time that fans are looking for more in this world, so we spent a lot of time thinking about that.” He added: “Our knowledge tells us that there are no big distinctions between a younger version of a fan and an older version of a fan. They are simply deep Harry Potter fans, and we try to create authentic experiences to delight them.”

The executive went on to say that the enormous success of Hogwarts Legacy gave the company confidence that continuing to invest in the Harry Potter series was a good decision.

“The rest of the company was very curious about what we helped unlock with Hogwarts Legacy last year,” he said.

Hogwarts Legacy was such a huge success that it even outsold Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III in the US during 2023.

She said she’s not directly involved, but that executives are keeping her informed through her agent if WBD teams want to go “beyond a canonical conversation.” Rowling comments about the trans community They continue to hang over the magical series.

In addition to Hogwarts Legacy 2, Warner Bros. is reportedly producing a Hogwarts Legacy Definitive Edition with additional story content. Hogwarts Legacy launched without the ability to participate in Quidditch matches, but a dedicated Quidditch game, Quidditch Champions, was released in September.
