Job Listing Teases New Hogwarts Legacy 2 Features

by

There’s a lot of buzz about what the next Hogwarts Legacy game will offer, and a recent job posting from Warner Bros. Games suggests it could include competitive online multiplayer. The first Hogwarts Legacy was a huge hit in 2023 and is still incredibly popular, so it’s not surprising they’re planning a sequel. What might surprise some fans, though, is that the next game could be quite different from the original.

Recent job postings from Warner Bros. for Avalanche Software suggest that a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy might be an online multiplayer role-playing game, a change from the first game’s single-player format. Although the job descriptions don’t directly confirm this is a new Wizarding World title, they share similarities with previous postings that specifically sought candidates with extensive knowledge of the wizarding universe. While Avalanche has worked on multiple games at once before, the studio’s current focus suggests this online RPG could very well be Hogwarts Legacy 2. New job listings indicate that development is accelerating, hinting at a potentially large-scale release.

Hogwarts Legacy 2 May Feature Competitive Quidditch and Dueling

Hogwarts Legacy

A recent job posting from Warner Bros. Games for a Senior Backend Software Engineer working on an Avalanche project – likely Hogwarts Legacy 2 – suggests the game could feature online multiplayer and potentially be free-to-play. The job description focuses heavily on online and live game services, similar to previous hints. Importantly, this is the first listing to specifically mention needing support for things like player data storage, matchmaking, lobbies, and server maintenance. This focus on matchmaking and lobbies strongly implies the game will have some form of competitive play, something fans have wished for in the original Hogwarts Legacy, particularly features like Quidditch and player-versus-player duels. This job posting may be a sign that these features are finally being considered for the sequel.

Okay, so everyone’s buzzing about what’s next for Hogwarts Legacy. There hasn’t been an official word yet on whether a sequel will be a massive multiplayer online game like an MMO, or stick to the single-player story with just a few online bits added in. But Avalanche is working on a multiplayer RPG, and they’ve hinted at things like matchmaking and lobbies, which is really getting people excited about the possibilities for another Hogwarts Legacy game. Honestly, tons of players have been asking for competitive Quidditch and dueling, so it makes sense that the next game could include online features. The big question is whether those online lobbies and matchmaking will be a major focus, or just something extra on the side.

If you’re worried that the next Hogwarts Legacy game might become an online multiplayer experience, there’s still a chance Hogwarts Legacy 2 could remain a single-player game. Some believe the developers, Avalanche, might be working on both a traditional sequel and a separate online game. It’s also possible that the recent job postings – looking for experts on the Wizarding World and those with experience in ongoing online games – aren’t connected at all. However, with Warner Bros. hiring so many people throughout 2025, it seems likely that Avalanche is working on a large project – or even two. Given how successful the first Hogwarts Legacy was, a sequel feels like the most obvious next step.
