Hogwarts Legacy 2 Might Have Multiplayer

The Hogwarts Legacy franchise has already seen significant success since its release, and with that success, it’s no surprise that fans are eagerly anticipating a follow-up. The first game allowed players to explore a vast open world as a young wizard or witch, but there was one notable absence: multiplayer. If the latest hints are to be believed, the sequel might address that gap, bringing an online multiplayer experience to the Wizarding World.

A recent job posting for a Senior Software Engineer at Avalanche Studios—the developers behind Hogwarts Legacy, appears to confirm that an online multiplayer RPG is in the works. According to Gamerant, the listing mentions the engineer will join the team “behind the blockbuster open world, action RPG Hogwarts Legacy” and work on an “online multiplayer RPG.”

The job description goes further, outlining responsibilities such as “designing, implementing, and maintaining scalable and secure backend services,” which include player data persistence, matchmaking, lobbies, and server infrastructure, key elements for any online multiplayer game.

While this strongly hints that Hogwarts Legacy 2 might feature multiplayer elements, several questions remain unanswered. For one, the listing doesn’t specifically name Hogwarts Legacy 2, and Avalanche is known to be working on other projects. It's unclear whether this listing refers to the sequel, or if it's for a different online multiplayer RPG entirely.

Another major question is whether multiplayer will be fully integrated into the game or reserved for specific modes. Some fans are speculating that, much like in the first game, the sequel could feature multiplayer primarily in certain modes, such as Quidditch, allowing players to compete against each other in magical sports. This would make sense, given the existing fan interest in competitive wizarding sports, and Quidditch has been a staple in the Harry Potter franchise.
