Hogwarts Legacy 2: Sequel Tease Sparks Debate Among Fans
The record-breaking success of *Hogwarts Legacy
in February 2023 has left fans eagerly awaiting news of a sequel. While no official announcement has been made, a recent job listing from developer Avalanche Software has ignited speculation and divided opinions on the future of the beloved wizarding world title.
A job posting, spotted by Game Rant, seeks a Producer for an undisclosed project. The listing explicitly calls for experience with "Open World RPG" or "action/magical combat games" and invites candidates to join the team behind *Hogwarts Legacy
as they "create what's next!" This tantalising hint has led many to believe that the sequel is in development.
Previous rumours suggested that the *Hogwarts Legacy
sequel would adopt a live-service model. This sparked significant backlash from fans, who launched a petition demanding that the developers abandon this direction. Now, with the job listing adding fuel to the fire, the online community is abuzz with discussions about what a potential sequel should entail.
Many fans, expressing their opinions on Reddit's r/HarryPotterGame forum, are clamouring for a complete reboot of the series. One user shared their desire to "play as Harry again in this current generation, sneaking around and living all those moments again." Others echoed this sentiment, voicing a desire to experience the story from the perspective of iconic characters like Harry Potter.
Despite *Hogwarts Legacy
being the top-selling video game of 2023 in the US, some players have identified areas for improvement in a potential sequel. "Each house should have its own storyline," suggested one user, arguing that playing as a different house should offer a truly distinct experience rather than a mere reskin of the same content. Another player expressed a desire for "missions in Hogwarts or places we actually care about," instead of "travelling all around this empty map to a town/cave/camp that is like every other one on the map."
While the recent job listing offers a promising glimpse into the future of *Hogwarts Legacy*, it remains unclear whether a sequel is confirmed, its exact format, or its release date. Fans, however, are already actively contributing to the conversation, voicing their hopes and anxieties about the future of the beloved franchise. Only time will tell if Avalanche Software will heed the concerns of its devoted fanbase and deliver a sequel that satisfies the desires of both old and new wizards.
