Summary
- Avalanche Software is possibly developing an online multiplayer RPG set in the Harry Potter universe.
- Recent job postings and surveys suggest a new multiplayer game separate from Hogwarts Legacy 2.
- DLC will reportedly be released for Hogwarts Legacy in 2025, but details about the sequel and online game remain unknown.
Recent job postings indicate that Avalanche Software could be developing an online multiplayer RPG based on the Harry Potter franchise. With the huge success of Hogwarts Legacy, it’s not surprising to see its creators focusing on developing a live service game in the popular Harry Potter universe alongside a possible sequel to the title.
Released early in 2023, Hogwarts Legacy sold over 30 million copies, becoming the year’s best-selling game. The success of the first open-world game based on the Harry Potter franchise was so massive that Hogwarts Legacy still appeared as the 10th most-sold game in 2024, despite receiving no official expansions.
Hogwarts Legacy 2 Could Make One Iconic Harry Potter Location the Ultimate Hub for High-Stakes Heroics
Hogwarts Legacy 2 already has the perfect quest hub in one of the Harry Potter series' most iconic locations, but it would mean leaving Hogwarts.
Now, Harry Potter fans are wondering what the developer Avalanche Software is working on, and it seems that the studio could be developing a Harry Potter online multiplayer RPG alongside Hogwarts Legacy 2. In recent job postings on Warner Bros.' Website, it’s possible to see that Avalanche is currently hiring developers to work on an “online multiplayer RPG.” A prominent leaker called X0X_LEAK has also mentioned a new survey that asked gamers for feedback about online games. According to them, the survey includes questions such as whether players prefer menu-based or lobby-based lobbies for online games, and it has questions about player profile customization, the importance of a sense of community, and more.
Job Postings Point Out a Possible Online Multiplayer RPG In The Harry Potter Franchise Being Developed
It’s known that Avalanche Software is working on Hogwarts Legacy 2, but the game does not seem to be an online multiplayer RPG. So, the survey and the job posts indicate that another game is in development. In any case, gamers should take this rumor with a grain of salt, as it’s still unconfirmed that this multiplayer project exists, and even if it does, it could eventually be canceled.
Interestingly, it does not seem that Avalanche has entirely abandoned the first Hogwarts Legacy just yet. Recent reports indicate that Hogwarts Legacy could get a DLC at some point in 2025. While not much information has been confirmed about this possible DLC, it’s likely to feature a new story quest and cost around $20 to $30.
Unfortunately, not much is known about the Hogwarts Legacy sequel or this possible online game set in the Harry Potter universe. It’s unknown, for example, if the sequel will retain the same protagonist or introduce a new one, or even in which time period Hogwarts Legacy 2 will be set. Both games are also likely early in development, so it may take a while before Avalanche Software shares more information with fans.
