Wiedenfels stated that a Hogwarts Legacy successor is a top priority for the company, expected to launch within "a couple of years." He highlighted the significant growth potential this game brings to their strategic outlook.

This resonated deeply with the gaming community, catapulting Hogwarts Legacy to the top of the best-selling games of the year. Haddad expressed pride in breaking into the top ranks, a space typically dominated by established sequel titles.
