Hogwarts Legacy 2?

[Chazer]

Are there already rumors on when we get to play the next Hogwarts game?

[Bernkastel]

idk how they can really make a second one without just more or less reusing what they've already made, which i feel would be weird

i feel like it'd be more worthwhile for them to make Ilvermorny

[Urieaal]

yes. HL sold and has done so well. they are already discussing DLC and a HL2. HL2 is only in discussion and has not even been green lit to be made yet.

[Violent Rainbow]

I hope the next one is based around the time Hogwarts first opened

[Hvandiir]

Why should there be another Hogwarts Legacy ? What more can they do with same enviroment ? We have seen Hogwart's Legacy. Most likely they will bring other school's.

well the game is set well before any of the hogwarts we know. so it would be with in reason to do an after hogwarts/ continuation story, similar to how mass effect 1,2,3 went with shepards story continuing.

or just throwing another story at us all together.

or even go further back in time. there is a lot of lore to work with.

Even if there were any rumors, they wouldn't be reliable at this point. Warner has indicated that they see Hogwarts Legacy as a long-term franchise, and the first game has sold extremely well, so it seems a fairly safe bet that it will get a sequel at some point. But when that point will be, is really impossible to say given that there's not even been any pre-development on it (as far as we know).

If you want some data to make an estimation: Hogwarts Legacy was in development for about 6 years. Usually it takes about 3 years to develop games of this scope and quality, but this development studio is still inexperienced when it comes to creating such big games (it barely got Hogwarts Legacy out of the door even though the release date was postponed twice, many planned features were cut, and there are gamebreaking bugs that they still haven't managed to fix). So if the same studio is tasked with a sequel on the same scope, I'd say 4-5 years seems more realistic.

However, Warner may have an interest in releasing a sequel sooner, before the interest in the franchise cools down again. They could try to hire new personnel with more experience. Or they could decide that HL2 doesn't need new gameplay systems, but rather just a new story that re-uses lots of the material from HL1. In that case, they would probably be able to release a sequel in 2 years.

JKR already said Hogwarts always felt the same or similar way in any time. So itd be kind of Pointless to go back just to see same castle. Seeing other schools would bring more.

There are always rumors. They're usually fake, though, just people trying to manufacture hype to try to force the devs' hand.

[Snkmarcel]

The next game should definitely be when hogwarts was getting build

1 other thing warner could do is use the same team that loves harry potter and just add in some more companies to help them still inexperianced main devs with the help off veterans like they did this time but now they know the sequal will sell well so they have more intrest in putting more resources into it

[Croissant]

It seems unlikelly they could continue the story of the player character considering that its custom made, and the story from now would be too close in time to the Harry Potter plot not to affect it. Dumbledore is already alive and is 3 years old by the end of HL by the way.

multiplayer and big patch for hogwarts 1

[Supgad]

I think it's quite easy to recycle a good bit of the existing assets (e.g. castle) and still make a game that feels and plays as a new game.

Install different, more interesting puzzles in the game world.

Incorporate a curfew system that honours lore and makes the day/night cycle more meaningful.

Implement a morality system.

Draft a new main story campaign that is contingent upon or impacted in some way by our choices.

Add new spells, more potions, more plants, more beasts.

Design and incorporate a proper companion system.

Reimagine the gear system.


Just because a game is set in a similar setting doesn't mean it'll be the same game, if handled properly.

Uh no the devs themselves aren't they're still getting all the old systems launches ready(ps4 and xboxone then switch) Dev board they've flatout said is at least for now completely clear and haven't start on dlc plans

How is this even a legit question this early into the games release...
