Despite controversy around the launch, Hogwarts Legacy released earlier this year to huge success. The game sold more than 12 million copies in its first two weeks and the numbers have only grown in the months since thanks to the launch of the PS4 and Xbox One versions, with a Switch port still to come. Now it would seem that a sequel has been greenlit.
Hogwarts Legacy was released as a complete game, with no plans for post-launch DLC. We may still get some DLC eventually but nothing has been announced so far. However, that doesn't mean there isn't more work being done behind the scenes. According to a reputable leaker, a Hogwarts Legacy sequel “is in the works“.
The leaker in question is MyTimeToShineH, who is mainly known for leaking details about upcoming superhero films. While they may be a reputable source for these types of leaks, they don't have as much of a track record for leaks in the gaming space. However, given that this person has been known to have sources at WB, which handled the Harry Potter films as well as publishing Hogwarts Legacy, I'd say there's a good chance of them being right.
With all of that said, it wouldn't take much for someone to predict a sequel for Hogwarts Legacy. It has been one of this year's best sellers and there is still room for it to grow with the impending Switch version, opening the game up to millions of more players.

KitGuru Says: While I thought Hogwarts Legacy was good, there is room for improvement. The world could stay the same but I would like to see all of the RPG stuff expanded upon in a sequel, with more meaningful decision points and perhaps a more in-depth character creator.
