Highlights
- Hogwarts Legacy is the best-selling game of 2023 so far and is likely to maintain its lead with a planned release on the Nintendo Switch.
- Reliable leaker, MyTimetoShineHello, has confirmed that a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy is in the works, giving fans something to look forward to.
- The possibility of a sequel may mean that Hogwarts Legacy will not have any DLC, as the development team could be focusing their efforts on the sequel instead.
With Hogwarts Legacy being an absolutely massive, record-breaking sales success, the existence of Hogwarts Legacy 2 is unlikely to surprise fans. Avalanche Software and Warner Bros. hit it out of the park with Hogwarts Legacy, with the game standing tall as the best-selling new game of 2023 so far.
Hogwarts Legacy is the best-selling game of 2023 to date, and it will soon have a chance to extend that lead. When the game first launched, Hogwarts Legacy was only available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. Avalanche and Warner Bros. eventually ported Hogwarts Legacy to PS4 and Xbox One, and there are plans to bring the massive open world Harry Potter game to the Nintendo Switch later this year as well, which should give it another big sales boost. It's certainly possible that the new Call of Duty game will pull ahead Hogwarts Legacy, but otherwise it's hard to see any other game knocking it off the top spot.
Hogwarts Legacy's sales success has virtually guaranteed a sequel, and now a reputable leaker has said that such a game is in the works. MyTimetoShineHello is a leaker who has a proven track record of big MCU leaks. They haven't leaked video game information often, but have made some interesting video game claims on their Twitter recently. According to their sources, Hogwarts Legacy is getting a sequel, though further details beyond that are unavailable at the time of this writing.
A Hogwarts Legacy sequel being in development is incredibly obvious given the first game's success, but fans will still be happy to know that the project is apparently "in the works." Of course, this is assuming that MyTimetoShineHello's sources are correct. As with all leaks, it's best to treat these Hogwarts Legacy sequel claims with skepticism until details come from an official source.
Assuming this leak is accurate, it could really solidify Hogwarts Legacy not having any DLC. It was previously confirmed that there was no DLC planned for Hogwarts Legacy, though fans have been holding out hope that something could materialize in the wake of the game's sales success. However, if Avalanche is already moving on to the Hogwarts Legacy sequel, one would imagine that it wouldn't have much time to dedicate to making DLC for the first game. Seeing the fan demand for DLC, perhaps the sequel will be made with post-launch expansions in mind.
Hogwarts Legacy 2 is rumored to be in development.
