What has been announced about Hogwarts Legacy 2?

As previously mentioned, Hogwarts Legacy 2 has not been officially confirmed however Bloomberg's Jason Schreier previously reported Warner Bros Games is indeed working on a sequel.

It's previously been publicised by bosses at the company but it has not been revealed.

An example of this is that David Haddad, the former president of Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment, spoke with Variety before leaving the company.

"The rest of the company was very curious about what we helped to unlock with Hogwarts Legacy," he said.

Variety reported Haddad said the games team have been "co-ordinating some of the big-picture storytelling elements in the Hogwarts Legacy sequel with the storylines that will play out in the Harry Potter HBO series".

When is Hogwarts Legacy 2 release date?

There is no information about a release date yet but HBO's upcoming Harry Potter TV series may give a bit of an indication about this.

The series was initially expected to release in 2026 but more recent reports state it's expected to air in 2027, with filming expected to start later this year.

If that is the case, Hogwarts Legacy 2 could release to tie in with that, meaning there would be a four year gap between the two games releasing.

With The Last of Us, Naughty Dog released The Last of Us: Complete Edition, a bundle of both games, when Season 2 started in April.
