Hogwarts Legacy has made over $1 billion, get ready for many more sequels

Hogwarts Legacy recently launched on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, with a Nintendo Switch port on the horizon, pushing the game's sales past $1 billion.

The Nintendo Switch version is speculated to contribute heavily to additional sales, as the Harry Potter franchise is incredibly popular in Japan, where the Switch remains one of its best-selling consoles alongside the PS5. Japan is the third best area in the world for its Harry Potter fandom, being beaten by the US and UK.

With all of this in mind, it’s almost a certainty that the game’s developer Avalanche Software will likely have additional projects in mind for the series.

What kind of projects these could be remains a mystery, as nothing has been officially announced or confirmed, but given how enormous the world of Harry Potter is, the possibilities are endless or sequels and spin-offs. Hogwarts in particular was opened in the 9th century, we’ve only really scratched the surface of its deep history.

The recent release of the Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game also came with an update across all platforms, aimed at fixing a variety of bugs and performance issues. The patch also introduced an “Arachnophobia Mode”, which changes the visual and sound design of the spider enemies found in the game.
