The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is one of the most beloved and enduring franchises in pop culture, captivating generations through books, films, theme parks, and, more recently, video games. When Hogwarts Legacy launched in 2023, it quickly became a record-breaking phenomenon, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in the magic of the Wizarding World like never before. The open-world RPG became WB Games’ best-selling title, proving that the demand for interactive experiences set in J.K. Rowling’s magical universe remains incredibly strong.
However, while fans were eagerly awaiting expansions to Hogwarts Legacy, WB Games recently confirmed that there would be no DLC for the game, leaving players disappointed. With speculation about Hogwarts Legacy 2 in the works and a new Harry Potter TV series on the horizon, it seemed like fans had a long wait ahead for the next big thing. But now, an exciting leak suggests that another major project could be in development—a Harry Potter online RPG!
Avalanche Working on a Multiplayer Harry Potter RPG
According to recent leaks and job listings, Avalanche Software, the studio behind Hogwarts Legacy, appears to be working on a brand-new online multiplayer RPG. The studio is already rumored to be developing Hogwarts Legacy 2, but recent hiring trends suggest that WB Games has expanded the team to work on a second project.
Several job postings on Avalanche Software’s website reference an “online multiplayer RPG,” a genre that Hogwarts Legacy did not explore. If these listings were related to Hogwarts Legacy 2, they likely wouldn’t be kept under wraps, leading many to believe that a new title is in development.
Adding fuel to the fire, a well-known leaker on X (formerly Twitter), XOXLEAK, recently reported that a survey was sent out to potential playtesters. The survey reportedly asked about various features, including menu-based lobbies versus traditional lobby systems, player profile customization, and community engagement. Additionally, it mentioned the ability to spectate matches, suggesting an interactive multiplayer experience unlike anything seen in Hogwarts Legacy.
What Could This Game Be About?
While details remain scarce, the idea of a multiplayer Harry Potter RPG is incredibly intriguing. Given the rich lore of the Wizarding World, an online experience could allow players to create their own witches and wizards, team up for cooperative quests, duel in PvP battles, and explore the magical universe together. Whether it follows a structure similar to Elder Scrolls Online or a more instanced experience like Destiny 2 remains to be seen.
Moreover, the Harry Potter franchise has always had a strong sense of community. A multiplayer RPG would allow fans to truly live out their magical fantasies in a shared world, making it one of the most ambitious Wizarding World games to date. While WB Games has yet to officially confirm the existence of this online RPG, the evidence is compelling. If true, this project could revolutionize the Harry Potter gaming landscape, offering fans an entirely new way to engage with the franchise. Whether it’s set in the Hogwarts era or takes place in a different time period remains a mystery, but one thing is certain: excitement is brewing in the Wizarding World once again.
