Warner Bros. Games are already working on a ‘series’ of Hogwarts Legacy follow-ups.

Hogwarts Legacy was one of 2023’s biggest games, with 22 million copies sold by the end of the year.

And following its massive success, Warner Bros. Games – the publisher behind the action role-playing game – are already working on a “series” of follow-ups set in the Potterverse world.

One of these is the previously announced Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, which has been described as a “fast-paced, competitive multiplayer game featuring the… most iconic magical sport”.

“Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a complete, standalone Quidditch experience… It engages players in the sport of Quidditch and other broomstick adventures alongside friends in a competitive, multiplayer setting,” a press release for the title states.

He also said that Warner Bros. Games are working on a “a series of other things” in the Potterverse that are currently unannounced but “will let the fans be part of this world and stories and characters in deeper and deeper ways”.
