During Bank of America's 2024 Media, Communications & Entertainment Conference, Warner Bros. Discovery CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels confirmed plans for a Hogwarts Legacy sequel. The original game, a critically acclaimed action RPG based on the Harry Potter universe, has sold over 24 million copies since its release. Wiedenfels highlighted the sequel's importance, stating, "Obviously, a successor to Hogwarts Legacy is one of the biggest priorities in a couple of years down the road... there is certainly a significant growth contribution from that [games] business in our strategic outlook here."
Warner Bros. Games' David Haddad previously emphasized the game's remarkable replayability as a key factor in its success.
