Worried Hogwarts Legacy Fans Launch Petition in Hopes of Rescuing Unannounced Sequel, Hogwarts Legacy 2
A New Petition Urges Warner Bros. to Keep Hogwarts Legacy 2 Free from Live Service Model Fans of the massively successful Hogwarts Legacy have launched a petition urging Warner Bros. not to turn its unannounced sequel into a live service game. Hogwarts Legacy, which shattered records upon its release and dominated as the best-selling game of 2023, has set high expectations for its follow-up. Despite the sequel’s official announcement still pending, fans are already expressing concerns.
Many enthusiasts are apprehensive about Warner Bros.’s future gaming endeavours, especially following the company’s announcement to prioritize live-service games. This decision has sparked confusion among fans, given the immense success of Hogwarts Legacy contrasted with the underwhelming performance of the Suicide Squad live-service game. However, Warner Bros. remains steadfast in its commitment to a live-service gaming future, leaving fans worried that this direction could negatively impact Hogwarts Legacy 2.
Attempts to Deter Hogwarts Legacy 2 from Becoming a Live-Service Game Met with Limited Success Concerned fans of Hogwarts Legacy have taken to Change.org to launch a petition aimed at preventing the unannounced Hogwarts Legacy 2 from adopting a live-service model. As of now, the petition has garnered 780 signatures, reflecting the growing apprehension among fans. However, despite the petition’s momentum, it’s unlikely to sway Warner Bros.’ future plans. Even if the petition gains thousands more signatures, the company’s stance on live-service games is unlikely to change.

If a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy embraces the live-service model, there’s speculation on how it might unfold. One possibility is a focus on offering paid DLC cosmetics, enhancing character customization without altering the core gameplay. Alternatively, the sequel could pivot towards a multiplayer-centric approach, potentially transforming from a single-player action-RPG into a multiplayer experience. While the idea of exploring Hogwarts castle with friends may excite many fans, there’s concern about alienating those who were drawn to the original Hogwarts Legacy for its single-player experience.
A potential compromise could involve integrating optional multiplayer elements into a proper single-player adventure for Hogwarts Legacy 2. For example, incorporating Quidditch as a competitive online multiplayer mode while preserving the core single-player experience untouched. However, this approach may face limitations, as a standalone Quidditch multiplayer game is already in development, potentially affecting the feasibility of this compromise for Hogwarts Legacy 2.
Regardless of its eventual form, the remarkable financial success of Hogwarts Legacy virtually ensures that a sequel is inevitable. Whether it adopts a live-service model or stays true to the original remains uncertain. However, until concrete details emerge, fans are likely to harbor concerns about the direction of Hogwarts Legacy 2.
