A new job listing by Warner Bros. Games may have just revealed a major update about Hogwarts Legacy 2.
According to the posting, Avalanche Software — the studio behind the original Hogwarts Legacy — is hiring a Director of Design for an online multiplayer RPG. What’s getting everyone’s attention is the specific requirement: experience with free-to-play and games-as-a-service models.
This detail has sparked a wave of speculation that the sequel to Hogwarts Legacy could be an online multiplayer game, possibly even free-to-play, which would be a big shift from the original’s single-player format.
Fans Wanted Multiplayer — They Might Be Getting It
Released in 2023, Hogwarts Legacy quickly became one of the year’s biggest games. With its stunning graphics, immersive story, and action-packed wizard battles, it drew praise from both fans and critics.
But many players still hoped for multiplayer features, saying that exploring Hogwarts with friends would take the magic to a whole new level.
Now, with Warner Bros. Games hiring for a multiplayer title within the same studio, there’s growing hope that Hogwarts Legacy 2 might offer just that.
The Clues Are in the Details
The job ad asks for someone familiar with live service models, regular content updates, and support for post-launch features — all signs pointing to a game that evolves, possibly with in-game purchases or cosmetic upgrades.
While the job listing doesn’t mention Hogwarts Legacy directly, it does say the person will join the team that made it, making the connection pretty obvious for many fans.
Still, Warner Bros. Games has not officially confirmed that this role is for Hogwarts Legacy 2, and Avalanche Software may be working on a different online RPG altogether.
But wait — there’s more.
Another job listing from Avalanche is looking for a Lead Designer for Game Systems, with experience in account systems, in-game economies, and monetization strategies.
This reinforces the theory that the next big title could be free-to-play and come with its own reward system, maybe similar to other online games like Fortnite or Genshin Impact.
Could Hogwarts Legacy 2 Be Very Different?
Apart from multiplayer features and in-game economies, there’s another hint that the gameplay itself might evolve.
One job posting mentions working on complex storytelling, possibly pointing to branching narratives, where your choices in the game affect the outcome. This would make the game even more immersive and replayable than the first.
Still, until there’s an official announcement, all of this remains speculation.
The Harry Potter Gaming Universe Keeps Growing
Fans of the Wizarding World continue to ask for more content, especially in the gaming space. Mobile titles like Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery have stayed popular for years, showing that demand is strong.
With rumors of Hogwarts Legacy 2 heating up, fans are keeping a close eye on job listings and industry news for clues.
Whether or not the next game is free-to-play, one thing is clear: people are ready to return to Hogwarts.
