*Hogwarts: Legacy* is an immersive open-world action role-playing game developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Games. Released on February 10, 2023, it was released on PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. It was the best-selling game worldwide in 2023, selling approximately 22 million copies, and its cumulative sales exceeded 34 million copies as of the beginning of this year.
According to Notebookcheck, *Hogwarts: Legacy* has recently seen a resurgence in popularity due to a new job posting from Avalanche Software, indicating that a sequel is in development. Previous rumors suggested the new game might adopt a free-to-play model and include multiplayer functionality, causing anxiety among many players. However, the new job posting suggests that the sequel will retain the single-player action role-playing game design, and the position requires applicants to have a "strong passion for the original work and IP."
In addition, the development team is also hiring a brand management and marketing specialist to oversee "console and PC projects within the Harry Potter universe." Information regarding an animator position indicates that applicants need knowledge of human and animal anatomy, as well as experience creating "creatures," similar requirements were present in past recruitment for *The Legacy of Hogwarts*.
There is speculation that Warner Bros. Games may indeed be planning to develop a multiplayer game based on Harry Potter, though it could also be a separate project.
