In a surprising turn of events, it is now being rumored thatHogwarts Legacy, released in 2023, will soon be getting a sequel, something that fans deduced after the studio posted a job listing recently.
While a sequel was expected, what further comes as a shock is how the listing indicated the studio was on the lookout for someone who has experience with ‘Live Ops‘ games, hinting at how the said sequel could take after some of the most successful video games in 2024.
Live-Service Hogwarts Legacy – What is the Studio Up to?
Titles likeHelldivers 2andThe First Descendanthave been all the hype in recent times, which should be enough to promptAvalanche Software, the creators ofHogwarts Legacy, to give the genre a try in an attempt to please the fans.

The rumors primarily stem from a jobpostingby the studio seeking a senior producer for an unknown title. What manages to catch the eye of a reader is how it states an understanding of Live Ops titles as one of the essential requirements.
This ultimately means that the unspecified game, which is most likely to be the much-anticipated sequel to the 2023 title, can contain elements of a live-service game to some extent.
While it is hard to imagine how such a video game based around the world built byJ.K. Rowlingwould work out, Potterheads will have to wait and see what the studio has to offer.

Additionally, it can also tempt players to remain more active in the game by offering rewards, such as cosmetic items, for completing these events.The studio also needs to recognize how gamers have come tohate the existence of microtransactionsand will need to avoid going down that path if they want a chance at surviving in the already crowded industry.Would you be playingHogwarts Legacy 2if it has live-service elements?
