During a recent interview with Variety (via Comic Book), the president of Warner Bros. interactiveentertainment, David Haddadrevealed that, after the enormous success of “Hogwarts Legacy”, the franchise Harry Potter should receive new games in the future — including a sequel to the title released in 2023.
It is worth remembering that, this week, Warner Bros. revealed that “Hogwarts Legacy” surpassed the impressive mark of 22 million copies sold in the year 2023, where, in December alone, around 2 million units were sold.
“It’s not just the unit sold that I’m so proud of, it’s just that it delighted the fans so much. It brought the Harry Potter universe to life in a new way for players, where they could be themselves in this world, in this story. And that’s what the team set out to do when they were developing the game and I think that’s really why it resonated so well and continues to be the best-selling game of the year across the industry across the world. This is a position that is normally occupied by one of the sequel games in these franchises and we are very proud that we managed to reach the top.”, said David.
