Summary
Recent job postings indicate that Avalanche Software could be developing an online multiplayer RPG based on theHarry Potterfranchise. With the huge success ofHogwarts Legacy, it’s not surprising to see its creators focusing on developing a live service game in the popularHarry Potteruniverse alongside a possible sequel to the title.
Released early in 2023,Hogwarts Legacysold over 30 million copies, becoming the year’s best-selling game. The success of the first open-world game based on theHarry Potterfranchise was so massive thatHogwarts Legacystill appeared as the 10th most-sold game in 2024, despite receiving no official expansions.
Now,Harry Potterfans are wondering what the developer Avalanche Software is working on, and it seems that the studio could be developing aHarry Potteronline multiplayer RPG alongsideHogwarts 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 thatAvalanche Software is working onHogwarts 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 firstHogwarts Legacyjust yet. Recent reports indicate thatHogwarts Legacycould 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 theHogwarts Legacysequel or this possible online game set in theHarry Potteruniverse. It’s unknown, for example, if the sequel will retain the same protagonist or introduce a new one, or even inwhich time periodHogwarts Legacy 2will be set. Both games are also likely early in development, so it may take a while before Avalanche Software shares more information with fans.
