Summary
- Hogwarts Legacy reportedly has a sequel and DLC in the works.
- The DLC may launch at some point in 2025.
- Details on what the sequel will entail are scarce at this time.
It seems that Harry Potter fans can look forward to more Hogwarts Legacy content, as the critically-acclaimed open world game apparently has both DLC and a sequel in the works. Hogwarts Legacy was the best-selling game of 2023, and so it’s no shock that WB is moving forward with a sequel. But while Hogwarts Legacy has been an incredible sales success, that doesn’t apply to all the company’s Harry Potter ventures.
A recent report by Bloomberg discusses WB’s plans for the Harry Potter franchise in video games. It touches on Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions‘ lackluster reviews and relatively weak sales, which indicates that the Harry Potter IP does not automatically translate to success in the gaming space. There are apparently “questions” about whether Hogwarts Legacy 2 can be as big of a hit as the original game or even surpass its sales, but Avalanche Software and WB are moving ahead with the project.

The same report mentions that Avalanche Software is not only working on a Hogwarts Legacy sequel, but is also making “new content” for the original game. Specific details on what Hogwarts Legacy 2 or the DLC for the first game will entail were not shared in the report. However, this is not the first time that we’ve heard of a Hogwarts Legacy 2 or DLC in the works for Hogwarts Legacy 1.
Hogwarts Legacy Sequel and DLC Rumored to Be in the Works
A separate report from last year made some claims about the Hogwarts Legacy DLC that is supposedly in development. That information, which stems from Insider Gaming, claims that the Hogwarts Legacy DLC will feature a new story quest, new side quests, new activities, and new outfits for players to enjoy. The DLC is expected to launch at some point in 2025 somewhere within the $20 to $30 range, and may be packaged with the original as part of a new Definitive Edition.
Considering Hogwarts Legacy‘s incredible sales success, it makes a ton of sense to move forward with a DLC expansion. If said expansion truly is looking to launch this year, one has to imagine that a proper unveiling will happen sooner rather than later. When the Hogwarts Legacy DLC is announced, it will definitely be interesting to see what it brings to the table. Personally, I have my fingers crossed for the ability to change seasons at will, as I miss exploring Halloween and Christmas-themed versions of Hogwarts.
