Hogwarts Legacy Sales Numbers Confirms the Second Part of the Game Will Break Records
Hogwarts Legacy is one of the most successful games of 2023, and it has almost been confirmed that the upcoming game will follow the same path.
- Hogwarts Legacy broke loads of records within a few weeks of its initial release.
- The sequel to the game is already in progress, but the release date isn't yet confirmed.
- Despite the expectation pressure, which is huge, the success rate of the sequel is massively positive.
The journey to Hogwarts is on its way. Hearing the name Hogwarts instantly takes all the Harry Potter fans down the memory lane to a mysterious magical world where the adventures of one of the best fiction series started. Warner Bros. impressively kept the mysterious magical vibe intact throughout the entire journey and the success of the game clearly showed how it captured the hearts of gamers.
It’s already in the air that Warner Bros. is working on a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy. Even the official sources have shed light on it. Therefore, already the speculation related to the upcoming game and its success has begun.
Hogwarts Legacy Has Become One of the Biggest Hits by Warner Bros.
Generally, when we name hit titles by Warner Bros., Batman: Arkham games come first in mind. But after the release of Hogwarts Legacy, the scenario has changed rapidly as it has touched peaks that no one probably ever thought of this game to reach. This open-world RPG has given a hard fight to From Software’s mega-hit game Elden Ring when it comes to sales.
The magical adventures of the game were set years before the stories of Harry Potter started, but the puzzles, magical creatures, and flying broom experiences have made things incredibly enjoyable for gamers.
After Hogwarts Legacy was released, within two weeks the game sold more than 12 million copies and generated $850 million in global sales revenue. When the game completed three months, the total revenue reached 1 billion, and according to the latest reports up to October 2024, the game sold more than 30 million copies.
With this record-breaking sales number globally, it has almost made it certain that the sequel will take things to a new height.
When Is the Sequel of Hogwarts Legacy Coming?
Currently, there’s no update on this. According to the latest news, Warner Bros. has a few games in the queue that it is currently focusing on, and among them, one is Batman: Arkham. After the ground-breaking success of the base game, there are huge expectations on the developer team regarding the sequel. Therefore, it will take some time before the game comes.
However, in the meantime, players will probably get a Hogwarts Legacy Director’s Cut, which reportedly Rocksteady has already been developing for a while. However, none of these have a solid release date yet.
The task of making the sequel is now more difficult than ever after the failure of Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions this year. It was the second game based on the Harry Potter story, but it failed to meet the expectations. Therefore, the next one must be made with more precision and care.
What the Hogwarts Legacy 2 May Bring for Players?
While the base game has brought loads of magical experiences to Harry Potter fans, there are tons of more things that the sequel can focus on. At this point, there’s no update on the storyline or timeline of the game, but there are a few features that the base game didn’t include. Therefore, the sequel should consider them.
The first among them is the Quidditch tournament. This is one of the most popular Harry Potter activities that players initially thought Hogwarts Legacy would bring, but unfortunately, it wasn’t there. So, there’s a big chance the sequel will bring it for gamers.
Like every other sequel, the upcoming one may also go deeper into the storyline the base game introduced with more magical creatures making their way into the game. Several new spells can be introduced to be learned as they used to in the base game.
Aside from that, the upcoming game may introduce wizard chess and other sports that we have seen Harry Potter and his friends play during their adventures in Hogwarts.
The sequel has numerous scopes to explore, but it’s still unclear what the developer team has chosen for the next game. Until the game trailers come, it will remain an unsolved mystery. However, the success of the base game has made it clear that the sequel will definitely break some untouched records if it matches the expectations.
