'Hogwarts Legacy' Sequel May Be in Development Already as Avalanche Looks for Software Engineer

The massive success of "Hogwarts Legacy," created by Warner Bros. Games and Avalanche Software, makes the development of the game's sequel possible. It is not yet known if there will be a "Hogwarts Legacy" sequel, but the Wizarding World fans are surely waiting for it.

Recently, it has been rumored that Avalanche Software, a division of Warner Bros. Games that developed "Hogwarts Legacy," is already working on a project, which some believe might be "Hogwarts Legacy 2."

The rumor spread amid Warner Bros.'s search for a software engineer, even though the company does not specifically say it is for a sequel to "Hogwarts Legacy."

'Hogwarts Legacy' Sequel Possibly Under Development

The "Hogwarts Legacy" sequel may be coming sooner than later if the rumor is true. The latest job listing from Warner Bros. is speculated to be looking for its next employee that will help create the game's sequel.

According to ComicBook Gaming, the company is looking for a junior software engineer to work at the Avalanche Software studio in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In the job posting, Warner Bros. said this software engineer will "join the team behind the blockbuster open world, action RPG Hogwarts Legacy as we create what's next."

The ComicBook Gaming noted that Avalanche Software's development for future "Hogwarts Legacy" games does not come as a surprise since the Harry Potter series is one of the biggest franchises on Earth with a handful of movies, an upcoming TV series, spin-offs, and merchandise.

For now, it is still unknown when the sequel will arrive. But "Hogwarts Legacy" was first leaked in 2018 and only released five years later, so who knows how long it will take for a sequel to develop.

However, with Hogwarts Legacy being labeled as a "franchise" by Warner Bros., Avalanche Software will surely develop a sequel eventually.

Hogwarts Legacy's Success

The launch of "Hogwarts Legacy, "centering on a game set long before Harry Potter's era in the famed school, gave gamers a chance to experience how it is to be a wizard or witch that can produce magic and harness the ancient magic power which the game introduced.

With that in mind, Warner Bros. Games experienced significant success in this launch. The company claimed this was the "biggest launch" in the studio's history. It was also in this celebration that the company unveiled that a sequel will soon follow the game, riding on its success and massive market with the first game.

It is unknown what the plot of Hogwarts Legacy's sequel would be, especially after it already introduced gamers to studying at Hogwarts and going on their unique adventures in and out of the castle.

While it was not explicitly revealed, this latest search for software engineers is believed to be for Hogwarts Legacy's sequel, with the studios already possibly working on the game.
