Warner Bros. Discovery spoke at the Bank of America conference earlier today, and mentioned the importance of a Hogwarts Legacy successor for its video game business, with the company planning to release it in the next few years.
“Obviously, a successor to Hogwarts Legacy is one of the biggest priorities in a couple of years down the road,” chief financial officer Gunnar Wiedenfels said at Bank of America conference on Wednesday (thanks, Variety).
“So there is certainly a significant growth contribution from that [games] business in our strategic outlook here.” continued Wiedenfels.
The original game was 2023’s best selling game with over 24 million copies sold, selling more than other heavy hitters such as Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Obviously, with other WB games such as Suicide Squad not performing well, and notably being a loss for the company, it’s not a huge surprise that a Hogwarts Legacy sequel would be a major priority for the publisher.
It’s been reported previously that Rocksteady had moved on from Suicide Squad to help develop an unannounced Hogwarts Legacy Director’s Cut, so it’ll be interesting to see if that’s revealed in the near future.
Quiddich Champions, another Harry Potter game also dropped this week. That’s available as part of PlayStation Plus as well.
