Report: Avalanche Working on Hogwarts Legacy DLC, Sequel; “Refreshed Version” on the Way
[summaraize]
It seems that work is underway for Hogwarts Legacy 2, as a new report claims that Avalanche Software is now working on the sequel. But that’s not all. While the first game just received official mod support, the studio is now working on new content for it, it’s claimed.
Hogwarts Legacy 2 Is In Development, But We’ll Get A Chance to Revisit the First Game With New Content
As reported by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, the sequel to Hogwarts Legacy 2 is now underway at Avalanche Software. There’s not much to share besides that tidbit of information, but Jason notes that his sources also confirmed new content is coming the first game.
“Avalanche is now working on new content for Hogwarts Legacy as well as a sequel. But questions linger about whether the success of the first game can even be replicated, let alone surpassed — or if the pent-up demand has already been satiated,” it’s noted.
Another interesting bit in the same report is that Schreier mentions, ” The company had been counting on Suicide Squad and MultiVersus to generate revenue throughout this year, but instead has ended support for both games. In the wake of this miscalculation, Warner Bros. now has little to release in the stretch ahead, beyond a refreshed version of the 2023 hit Hogwarts Legacy, a Lego title, and a few mobile games.”
This “refreshed version” of the game could be the Director’s Cut version rumored to be in development by Rocksteady Studios.
Since the first game’s release, fans have requested new content, such as quests and expansions. While Avalanche previously said they had no plans for such content, the first game’s success seems to have changed those plans—at least for Warner Bros., as it was their highest-selling title for 2023, achieving over 22 million in January 2024. As of November 2024, Hogwarts Legacy has sold 30 million copies.
We’re hopeful that the new content being worked on is more of an expansion rather than some small quest or cosmetic. Especially with the sequel in the works, now would be the perfect time to release something for the first game that could tie it more directly into the sequel.
While Schreier is as reliable as they come, this is still not official news, so until Warner Bros. announces or refutes it, take it with a grain of salt for now.
