Hogwarts Legacy was one of the big hits of 2023. No wonder Avalanche Software and Warner Bros. are looking at the future of the franchise.
Therefore, Warner Bros. Discovery has recently posted job openings and is looking for people in key positions who would like to participate in the development of a new AAA project. Is there a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy? Let’s see what potentially exciting things these offerings have to tell us.
Hogwarts Legacy is recruiting new teachers
While the trend at studios is currently towards layoffs, this is not the case for the team behind Hogwarts Legacy. The game was a real hit and was one of the best-selling of 2023. That’s all it took for Warner Bros., which wants to capitalize on this success and further develop its new Golden Egg franchise. The American giant is recruiting important positions in this regard.
The official page Recruiting at Warner Bros. Discovery recently expanded. Among the offers that caught our attention we find that for a senior technical artist. Here are the missions expected in this position: “We are looking for a Lead Technical Artist with extensive experience in Unreal and Python/C++ for our studio in Salt Lake City. You will be part of an agile team of technical artists equipped with the latest development technologies for a high-profile AAA title.”.
Is a more ambitious sequel to Hogwarts Legacy on the horizon?
While reading “high-profile AAA title”, of course we can’t help but think about a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy. With that in mind, let’s keep in mind that the ending of the first game left little room for DLC or an expansion. Especially since the offer seems to speak of a real project. The lucky person elected to this new position should therefore work on, if not a sequel, then at least a spin-off.
Fans of the original “Hogwarts Legacy” will be excited to see what Warner Bros. has in store. for his next candidates. The company places particular emphasis on the creativity expected of its future employees: “Candidates need to push their creativity and give them the freedom to try new things and get the most out of their work. You have to provide the best experience and anticipate what fans expect.”
It seems that Warner Bros. has big ambitions for its next productions in the magical world of Harry Potter. As good as it was, Hogwarts Legacy sometimes lacked original activities. However, the studio’s love for Hogwarts and JK Rowling’s magical world was undeniable. Now that the groundwork is well laid, let’s hope their next production unleashes even more magician madness to the delight of a huge fan base.
