A sequel to the popular Harry Potter action-adventure game Hogwarts Legacy is a high priority for Warner Bros., with the company revealing the first details about this follow-up in a recent interview.
Speaking to Variety, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment President David Haddad called this sequel a “very big priority” for the company, going on to admit that “fans are looking for more things in this world” and that WB Games wants to “build authentic experiences to delight them.” Haddad also confirmed that the WB’s gaming team is working with Warner Bros. Television to ensure that “big-picture storytelling elements” align with what will happen in the upcoming Harry Potter HBO series.
As for controversial author J.K. Rowling’s involvement with Hogwarts Legacy’s sequel and other upcoming Harry Potter projects, Robert Oberschelp, Warner Bros. Discovery’s head of global consumer products, says that “if we’re going to ever go beyond a canon conversation, we make sure that we’re all comfortable with what we’re doing.”
Haddad credits Warner Bros.’ reinvigorated Harry Potter push to the success of Hogwarts Legacy. Avalanche Software’s latest was the bestselling game of 2023, outselling Call of Duty. The Variety article these details came from confirms Hogwarts Legacy has sold over 30 million copies as of October 2024. As such, it makes sense that Warner Bros. is highly prioritizing a follow-up and making sure that it aligns with what the franchise is doing in the television space.
The sequel to Hogwarts Legacy does not yet have a title, confirmed platforms, or release window. We’ll keep you updated whenever Warner Bros. publicly decides to unveil those details; in the meantime, you can play Hogwarts Legacy on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.
Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
