However, despite a sequel seemingly on the cards, it seems as though publishersWarner Bros.are straying away from the RPG genre in favour of the live-service game treatment. This is rumoured to be because of the AAA console market not generating enough income.

Although this news wouldn’t have been too disappointing just a few years back, hearing the words “live service” now comes with negative connotations thanks to recent titles such asMarvel’s AvengersandSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Marvel’s Avengerswas a live-service action-adventure game released back in 2020 and only managed to hit 31,165 concurrent players before it was taken offline in 2023.
As forSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League,the fellow live-service title has been in a rough spot since it was first released earlier this year. With uninspiring gameplay, multiple in-game transactions and a too-short campaign, it recently hit itslowest player count so far.
As a result, if aHogwarts Legacysequel was to follow this format, it is safe to assume that it will also meet the same fate and fans agree.

Onesaid: “Well that’s more money saved if that’s true, I’m so f**king tired of live service games. They’re just as bad as pachinko machines”.
Another agreed,saying: “They just instantly killed my excitement for the sequel.”
Let us hope that Warner Bros. has a change of heart orHogwarts Legacy 2is already doomed to fail.
