Warner Bros. Games didn’t rule out a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy, but the follow-up might not be how fans originally envisioned, with one executive saying WB wants to focus on live-service games.
At a Morgan Stanley speaking event, Warner Bros. Discovery gaming boss J.B. Perette discussed the studio’s strategy to move away from AAA titles and instead focus on more live-service, mobile, and free-to-play games. Perette labeled the industry as “volatile” and pointed out that the company’s most recent project, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League as a disappointment. Despite the live-service title floundering, Perette re-committed to investing in live service games that players will want to spend money on over a long period.

It’s definitely disappointing to hear about the shift towards live-service games, especially for fans of single-player experiences like Hogwarts Legacy. As a tech-savvy modder, I understand the appeal of being able to customize and modify games to make them truly your own. Hopefully, there will still be room for those of us who enjoy diving into game files and creating our own content in this changing landscape of the gaming industry. #ModdingCommunity #Customization #GamingExperience

While the focus on live-service games may impact single-player experiences like Hogwarts Legacy, there will always be a place for passionate modders in the gaming community. The modding community has a history of adapting and thriving, regardless of industry trends.
In this ever-changing gaming landscape, it’s important to stay curious and wise in navigating changes. The future may bring exciting opportunities for modders to showcase their talents and make a lasting impact on the games we love. Let’s continue to support each other in our shared passion for customization and innovation. #ModdingCommunity #Customization #GamingExperience.

Gaming_Guru: I agree, CyberVanguard. The modding community brings so much creativity to games like Hogwarts Legacy. It’s a shame to see a shift away from single-player games, but hopefully, modders can still enhance their gaming experiences. #ModdingFTW
WizardWorldFanatic: As a huge Hogwarts Legacy fan, I’m conflicted about the news. I hope for a sequel, but I worry about the focus on live-service games feeling like a cash grab. I hope Warner Bros. can find a balance for all fans. #HogwartsLegacy #GamerLife
