Currently in full development, Hogwarts Legacy 2 could integrate a big novelty that may divide, if we are to believe a new job offer from your studio.
Latest news, business is not good for Warner Bros. Games, who in the future wants to focus on major and promising licenses, but would also continue to eye on the side of service games to try to bail out the boxes. Particularly awaited, Hogwarts Legacy 2 Should on paper make us return to Hogwarts for a good dose of magic. A recent job offer at Avalanche Software may however divide among fans of the original game. We study it in more detail.
Hogwarts Legacy 2 : Poudlard Royale ?
Released in 2023, Hogwarts Legacy was a phenomenal success, even placing itself as the best-seller game of that year, despite its exclusively solo orientation. Software Avalanche last November officially announced Hogwarts Legacy 2, with the first details about it. Naturally, we will return to Hogwarts, always in the shoes of a student. But Warner Bros. Games is no exception to his old demons and intends to integrate petty game elements. In any case, this is what can be removed from a job offer for a narrative chief designer at Avalanche Software.
Among the responsibilities of this position which targets Hogwarts Legacy 2, we can notably read the following: “ Integration of history into multiplayer systems “, As well as explicit keywords that may make a few teeth cringe like” PvP », « matchmaking » et « service game ». The offer also reveals to us that ” Some narrative elements of the game would be told through these multiplayer elements ».
To an even indeterminate extent, Hogwarts Legacy 2 therefore seems to go in a direction that scared fans, who had launched a petition To “save” the game against an attempt to make it a service game. However, it remains to be seen how these multiplayer will be integrated. Will we be entitled to an exclusively solo part, and an annex part open to multiplayer? Or will the whole game be a kind of MMO in Hogwarts? The future will tell us, and we are still likely to wait a few years before seeing what will really happen to Hogwarts Legacy 2.
