AI Summary
Warner Bros. Discovery officially confirmed a Hogwarts Legacy sequel in their Q2 2026 report. The original game was a massive commercial success, reaching 40 million units sold by last December. While details remain scarce, the company expects the new title to drive future profitability.

The long-whispered rumors of a Hogwarts Legacy sequel have finally been put to rest—it is officially happening.
The revelation dropped during Warner Bros. Discovery’s Q2 2026 earnings call. While the company was busy touting upcoming projects like 'LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight' and 'Game of Thrones: Dragonfire', they slipped in a significant note: "With a second Hogwarts Legacy title in the pipeline, we expect the gaming division to make a meaningful contribution to profitability moving forward." Regrettably, that is all we have for now, as further details remain under lock and key.

While this marks the first official confirmation of a sequel, it is not as if the industry has been entirely in the dark. Back in September 2024, Warner Bros. CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels hinted at the existence of a follow-up during a conference, and Bloomberg previously reported that a sequel was in active development.
Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world RPG based on the Harry Potter novel series. It managed to capture the series' distinctive charm while carving out its own narrative path, leading to a massive 22 million units sold in its debut year alone, and by December of last year, it had reached the 40 million units sold milestone.


가능성으로만 제기되던 호그와트 레거시 후속작 제작이 공식적으로 확인됐다.
해당 소식은 최근 발표된 워너 브라더스 디스커버리 2026년 2분기 실적 발표 보고서를 통해 전해졌다. 회사 측은 '레고 배트맨: 레거시 오브 더 다크 나이트', '왕좌의 게임: 드래곤파이어' 등 2분기 신작을 언급하는 한편, "호그와트 레거시 두 번째 타이틀을 비롯해 파이프라인이 확대됨에 따라, 향후 게임 비즈니스가 수익성에도 의미 있게 기여할 것으로 기대하고 있다"고 밝혔다. 그 외 구체적인 정보는 공개되지 않았다.

호그와트 레거시 후속작이 공식 확인된 것은 이번이 처음이지만, 이에 대해 간접적으로 언급된 제기된 사례는 몇 차례 있었다. 2024년 9월 워너 브라더스 CFO 거너 위든펠스가 컨퍼런스를 통해 호그와트 레거시 후속작에 대해 언급했으며, 미국 매체 블룸버그에서는 호그와트 레거시 속편이 개발 중이라고 보도한 바 있다.
호그와트 레거시는 소설 해리 포터 시리즈를 기반으로 한 오픈월드 RPG다. 소설 세계관을 독립적으로 다루면서도, 원작 특유의 분위기를 세밀하게 그려내 큰 관심을 받았다. 이를 토대로 출시 한 해 2,200만 장 판매량을 기록했으며, 작년 12월 4,000만 장 판매 기록을 달성했다.
