Recent career listings from Warner Bros. Discovery and Avalanche Software show that they are hiring for multiple positions to work on a new "Online Multiplayer RPG," with many speculating that this in-development project could be the heavily rumored Hogwarts Legacy sequel. The Wizarding World spin-off prequel Hogwarts Legacy was met with massive success upon launch, and with audiences asking for more Harry Potter content, these recent job postings may be good news for fans.
One of the best-selling video games of 2023, Hogwarts Legacy sees players creating a custom character and attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry while uncovering the secrets of social turmoil and ancient magic. The game was praised upon launch for its extensive magic system, open-world map, and original story, and audiences quickly began wondering when development on a sequel might begin. After multiple hints at a potential multiplayer entry, new career postings seem to indicate that another Hogwarts Legacy game may be on the way.
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery Reveals Its Most Popular Hogwarts Houses
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery kicks off its anniversary celebrations with the reveal of which Hogwarts house is the most popular.
According to several job listings, Warner Bros. Discovery and Avalanche Software are hiring a Lead Designer, Game Systems for an "Online Multiplayer RPG." The role accountabilities are detailed as focusing on "player progression, in-game economies, rewards, account systems, and game mechanics," with further mentions of "gameplay loops and meta systems...skill trees, crafting" and additional "monetization strategies." Rumors of a Hogwarts Legacy sequel making the move to multiplayer support current speculation that the RPG in question may in fact be another Harry Potter game. Previous job listings by Avalanche Software similarly indicated that the studio is working on more Hogwarts Legacy content, with those prior postings specifically requiring "a deep understanding of the wizarding world." While there is no official confirmation that the careers are linked in any way or that any of the jobs are actually for anything Hogwarts Legacy- related, they have already sparked optimism among players.
Hogwarts Legacy 2 Might Be an Online Multiplayer RPG
Following reports that the unannounced Hogwarts Legacy DLC was canceled, many fans have been keeping their fingers crossed that the alleged content would make its way into a full sequel. Avalanche Software has not yet announced any major new projects, so players are hopeful that the newly posted positions will be filling roles to work on another Hogwarts Legacy. Whether Hogwarts Legacy 2 is currently in development and whether it is the subtly revealed Online Multiplayer RPG remains to be seen, but it would not be unheard of to see such a popular title getting a sequel that is making the leap to multiplayer.
Demand for more Harry Potter video games continues to rise, with content additions to Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery and the release of Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions fueling fan hype for another long-form title like Hogwarts Legacy. Interested players can stay tuned for any updates on the possibility of a Hogwarts Legacy sequel and other Wizarding World news.
