The success of Hogwarts Legacy cannot be overstated. Developed by Avalanche Software and WB, it has shattered records and stands proudly as the highest-selling video game of 2023 thus far. Given the stellar performance of their maiden action RPG, it's neither surprising nor far-fetched to expect a sequel. In fact, reports suggest that a successor to Hogwarts Legacy is already under development.
In fan circles, speculation is brewing over the possible storyline for the sequel. Based on the Harry Potter franchise's timeline, some theories suggest that the game may pick up from where the first edition ended. A revelation by a Reddit user, Jart618, points to certain historical milestones that could be significant. The year 1891, aligning with the period of Hogwarts Legacy marks the debut of a notably young Seeker in the Hogwarts Quidditch team, a record eventually broken by Harry Potter.
With Quidditch conspicuously absent from the original game, fans are conjecturing that it might feature prominently in the sequel. This young Seeker could become a significant persona in the follow-up, or he might represent the player character in the new game, with players commencing their journey as Year 1 Hogwarts students.
However, these theories operate under the assumption that the sequel will progress linearly from the first game. It's likely that the sequel will explore a different avenue. The Potterverse teems with other magical schools that developers could focus on. Furthermore, the sequel might recount events from a completely distinct era - either before the events of the first game or after the final Harry Potter book and movie.
The realm of possibility is vast for the next Hogwarts Legacy installment. Underneath the layers of speculation and anticipation, the certainty remains that the sequel will captivate audiences with its fresh and exciting narrative. Whichever direction the developers choose, the result promises to be an absorbing and magical journey, continuing their commitment to creating a truly immersive Wizarding World experience.
