Not a rumor this time: Warner Bros. Discovery actually named the second installment of Hogwarts Legacy among its core projects in the latest shareholder report. They pointed to it as a key source of game revenue growth going forward — a company memo doing what leaks usually try to do.
No release window or platform list has been posted, so the timeline is still blank. Still, this formal mention pretty much snaps the months of speculation shut about a follow-up to a title that moved over 40 million units last year. Big numbers, sure, but that doesn’t tell us what kind of game waits on the other side.
Digging into job ads at Avalanche Software turned heads: the studio appears to be hiring for netcode and open-world work. “Devs” and “net” are the shorthand people use now; you’ll see talk of potential multiplayer or co-op cropping up because of those roles. Take it with a grain of salt — hiring for expertise doesn’t always mean the final product will include those features — yet it’s enough to fuel hopeful chatter.
On the rumor mill you’ll also find whispers about map growth and a proper Quidditch mode (some fans call it Q-mode). None of that is confirmed; some of it could be wishful thinking, other bits might be early design tests.
