The upcoming, multiplayer video game, announced as , has received a rather disappointing update, as apparently very few details about its release have been determined by publisher Warner Bros. Games. On the heels of 's best-selling success in 2023, Warner Bros., under its Portkey Games publishing label, has partnered with developer Unbroken Studios to deliver an experience based around the iconic wizarding sport, which was notably absent from., however, doesn't even have a broad release window, nor has the title been committed to any specific platforms other than PC.

Harry Potter title Hogwarts Legacy has sold more than 24 million copies to date.

It’s no secret that Hogwarts Legacy was a huge revenue earner for Warner Bros. last year after becoming the best-selling title in the United States and the UK. However, after it sold over 22 million copies in 2023, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav recently told Variety that it crossed 24 million sales.

Hogwarts Legacy was the bestselling game in the U.S. in 2023, according to new data from Circana, the company formerly known as the NPD Group. Warner Bros. and Avalanche Software’s game set in the world of Harry Potter outsold this year’s Call of Duty, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, breaking that brand’s four-year streak as the No. 1 annual moneymaker in the U.S.

The people who founded Rocksteady Studios have started a new development studio.

Rocksteady Studios founders Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker have established a new development studio in London called Hundred Star Games, which is described as a AAA games studio startup that will consist of “only 100 industry veterans and emerging talents.”

In many ways, James Gunn‘s upcoming rebooted DCU has the benefit of coming at a time when the MCU is in its tired teenage years, as he can take a look at what’s working and what isn’t over at Marvel and do better. Case in point? We’re getting in-canon video games, something the MCU has never delivered in 15 years.

WB Games hasn’t always made the best use of the DC licenses as it could have, but that certainly seems to be an area that the company wants to expand its efforts in. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is due out under a month from now, while a Wonder Woman game – which, according to Warner, is not going to be a live service experience – is also in development.

Warner Bros. Games has announced that the Harry Potter action-RPG Hogwarts Legacy sold over 22 million copies by the end of 2023, with roughly 2 million of those sales over the December festive period. «But it’s not just the units sold that I’m so proud of, it’s just that it delighted the fans so much,» Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad told Variety.

Hogwarts Legacy, the RPG set within the Potterverse, sold over 22 million copies in 2023. Speaking to Variety, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad claimed that it was the best-selling game of the said year and that about 2 million of those sales were made during the Christmas holiday season, presumably owing to heavy discounts. Despite his statement, several developers in the industry, including Larian Studios (Baldur's Gate 3) and Activision (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3) have yet to reveal the latest sales numbers; so, take the claims with a grain of salt.

There's no denying that Hogwarts Legacy was one of the biggest games of last year, with millions of Harry Potter fans jumping at the chance to enrol in that iconic wizarding school and unravel a mystery decades before The Boy Who Lived was even born.

Hogwarts Legacy has been a raving success for WB Games, having sold over 22 million copies worldwide over the course of 2023 to become the year’s highest-selling game. In light of that success, it’s no surprise that the company plans on releasing plenty more titles set in the Harry Potter universe.

Today, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment released new sales data on Hogwarts Legacy via an interview with Variety. The game has sold over 22 million copies in 2023, adding two million units just in the month of December, according to the publisher. Moreover, according to Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad, it is the best-selling game released last year.

It’s funny how a few years can change things. At one point in time, the Harry Potter franchise was one of the biggest and most profitable media series in the entire world. Then, things started to change after the main series wrapped up its main book line and movie adaptations. First, they tried to do spinoff movies based on an entirely different wizarding period, which heavily backfired on them. That’s not even mentioning what happened with series creator J.K. Rowling. But then, in 2022, things changed with the arrival of a certain video game you might have heard of: Hogwarts Legacy.

Warner Bros. has teased plans to release more games based on in its Wizarding World franchise following Hogwarts Legacy’s success.
