Hogwarts Legacy was a huge hit when it launched in 2023, becoming the best-selling game of that year in multiple countries. The chief financial officer of Warner Bros. Discovery said that a sequel to the hit game is now one of the company’s top priorities, although with the game’s development time increasing significantly these days, it’s not clear when we might expect it. Hogwarts Legacy sold 22 million copies during 2023.
“Obviously, the successor to the ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ is one of the highest priorities for the next few years. Therefore, there is certainly a significant contribution to growth from that [games] business in our strategic perspective here.” – WBD CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels
