The success of the first part of Avalanche Studios and Warner Bros.’ Hogwarts Legacy naturally led to the rapid announcement of the sequel, which is currently being produced by multiple teams simultaneously. However, the developer’s decision to closely tie the future game’s plot to the upcoming HBO series has received mixed reactions from players.
The main reason for the controversy was the prospect of going through a familiar story again rather than developing a stand-alone story. At the same time, the visual style of the castle in the first trailer for the series is very similar to the design in the game, indicating the author’s desire to maintain a single continuity. The main thing is that the creators paid attention not only to the recognizable walls of the school, but also to the surrounding open world, which initially required improvement.
Do you think the sequel would benefit from strictly following the plot and visuals of the upcoming HBO series?
