Another hint on the release of Harry Potter: Hogwarts Legacy 2? A user throws oil on the fire and in turn confirms a sequel for one of the boxes of 2023.
Released on February 10, Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy was one of the best-selling games of 2023. And truth be told, it might even have been THE best-selling title of the year… there hadn’t been another phenomenon that took everything in its path: Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. We do not have updated sales figures but the Harry Potter game seems to be lagging behind, which does not prevent it from having established a record for the franchise. The output ofHogwarts Legacy 2 therefore does not seem to be a shadow of a doubt, and a leaker enters the dance of rumors.
Hogwarts Legacy 2 approaching, the rumor starts again
Is Avalanche Software developing Hogwarts Legacy 2? With over 15 million copies sold and more than $1 billion generated, it’s hard to see how the adventure could end there. Especially since for several months now, the studio has been multiplying job offers for a “unadvertised AAA game”. A title designed by the Harry Potter team and which runs on Unreal Engine, like the first episode. Lots of clues piling up, even if it won’t come as a surprise to anyone.
But on Twitter, MyTimeToShineHello, which covers more cinema rumors about Marvel and DC in particular, is much more affirmative. He declares without flinching that Hogwarts Legacy 2 is indeed in development. “Sources have confirmed to me that a sequel to Harry Potter: Hogwarts Legacy is in the works”. An allegation not really surprising once again, and which needs to be verified.
For the moment, the Internet user seems to want to invest in the field of video game leaks at all costs, even if it means inventing things, but has absolutely not proven himself. Everyone is able to predict that there will be a Hogwarts Legacy 2 for the stated reasons. The other hot element that is already calling into question the credibility of this person on video game leaks is that he is taking over a false leak on Red Dead Redemption 3.
The first game to discover via the PS Plus Premium
Even if MyTimeToShineHello later turns out to be an imposter or an impostor, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Legacy 2 is surely already in the works. We don’t know if it should be specifically seen as a link, but the studio has closed the door to a DLC. At least temporarily. The director of the title, Alan Tew, had explained that the developers were too busy creating the main game. “We’ve been really busy bringing Hogwarts Legacy to life, so at the moment there are no plans for any DLC”. If a sequel is confirmed, the announcement should rekindle the controversy around JK Rowling.
Indeed, before the release of Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy, fans called for a boycott because of the closeness between JK Rowling and the game. Although she did not put her nose into it, she remains the author. And so there are bound to be positive repercussions for her, especially with the cheerful feedback from critics and players. An unthinkable scenario for some who continued to publicly denounce his transphobic remarks and his actions against the LGBT community. At the launch, media and streamers ignored the title, while others chose to maintain coverage by clearly condemning the JK Rowling affair or not.
If you want to make up your own mind about the game, a 45-minute trial version is still available via the PS Plus Premium. For those who are not subscribers, there is also a nice promo before the price increase. A good way to see if the adaptation suits you before a possible Hogwarts Legacy 2.
