The confirmation names the upcoming Harry Potter role-playing sequel as a part of the company’s long-term growth strategy for its gaming division, following the massive commercial success of the 2023 original.
Warner Bros. Confirms Hogwarts Legacy 2 in Shareholder Letter
The existence of the sequel was formally acknowledged in financial documents issued to Warner Bros. investors. According to the company letter, leadership expects games to contribute more meaningfully to segment profitability moving forward as the studio pipeline expands, explicitly citing “the second installment of Hogwarts Legacy.” ScreenRant reports that this direct naming suggests an official reveal could happen sooner rather than later, with industry events like Gamescom or The Game Awards serving as potential venues for a first trailer.
The announcement arrives as Warner Bros. Games shifts its focus toward a smaller number of projects backed by its strongest intellectual properties and higher investments, following recent struggles with titles like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the fighting game MultiVersus, as reported by ITTB.cz. Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier has previously reported that Avalanche Software is handling development on the project.
Did you know? The original Hogwarts Legacy sold over 40 million copies worldwide, establishing itself as one of the biggest commercial successes in Warner Bros. Games history.

Unlike the first game—which was set in the late 19th century and kept players entirely separate from familiar book characters—the narrative direction and time period for the sequel remain unconfirmed.
