Warner Bros. announced that a sequel to the Hogwarts Legacy video game is in development.

The company included the project in a shareholder letter dated August 6, stating that it is part of its focus on four primary franchises: Harry Potter/Hogwarts Legacy, Game of Thrones, Mortal Kombat, and DC.

The original Hogwarts Legacy, released in 2022, sold more than 22 million copies in its first year in the United States and has reached over 40 million copies worldwide.

Warner Bros. executives have previously indicated that a follow‑up was a priority, with CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels saying in 2024 that a successor to “Hogwarts Legacy” was one of the biggest priorities for the coming years.

CEO JB Perrette said in 2025 that after a challenging 2024 for the games division, the company would concentrate on the four franchises, and that the sequel aligns with plans for the upcoming Harry Potter HBO series.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad told Variety in 2024 that the sequel’s storytelling would coordinate with the storylines that will appear in the HBO series.

The company expects to reveal more details at upcoming events, including Gamescom Opening Night Live in August and The Game Awards in December, with a possible release window in 2027 or 2028.
