I’m Worried Netflix Is About To Ruin Hogwarts Legacy 2

by

The recent merger of Netflix and Warner Bros. will likely be investigated for potential antitrust violations, and it’s uncertain whether the deal will be finalized. However, it’s interesting to consider how the merger might impact Warner Bros.’ properties, particularly the popular Harry Potter video game, Hogwarts Legacy.

So, I’ve heard that Hogwarts Legacy 2 has been in development for a while now at WB Games, but with Netflix buying them, a lot of us fans are starting to worry. Honestly, Netflix doesn’t have much experience making big AAA games, and we have no idea how involved they’ll be with the game. It’s making a lot of players, including me, nervous that the sequel might not happen, or at least won’t be what we’re hoping for.

How Will Hogwarts Legacy 2 Be Affected By The Netflix Deal?

Players Fear Potential Micro-Transactions & Studio Shake-Ups

Honestly, I’m still not sure if this Netflix deal for the Hogwarts Legacy franchise is actually going to happen. And even if it does, who knows when we’d actually see any changes? From what I’ve heard, Hogwarts Legacy 2 is already pretty far along in development – probably releasing in the next couple of years. That means Netflix probably wouldn’t be able to make a ton of big changes to it at this point, since it’s already so close to being finished.

If the merger happens on time without issues from regulators or antitrust concerns, Netflix won’t officially own the rights to Hogwarts Legacy until the third quarter of 2026. Although the deal and the development of Hogwarts Legacy 2 will likely overlap, Netflix plans to keep Warner Bros.’ existing operations running and improve upon them.

It’s uncertain exactly how the recent merger will affect Hogwarts Legacy 2, but many fans on Reddit are concerned it might lead to the addition of in-game purchases. While it’s still unknown what role Netflix will play in the game, if the deal with Warner Bros. Games is finalized, it’s likely that future games in the Hogwarts Legacy series will be significantly shaped by Netflix’s influence.

Netflix Could Easily Ruin A Beloved Franchise

Considering the recent merger between Netflix and Warner Bros., it’s worrying to think about what future Hogwarts Legacy games might look like after a potential Hogwarts Legacy 2. If a third game ever happens, I’m concerned it won’t feel much like the original, which so many fans adore. While any new Hogwarts Legacy title would undoubtedly attract Harry Potter fans worldwide, there’s a lot of discussion about what that game should actually be like.

As a big fan of the first Hogwarts Legacy game and its immersive world, I was already concerned about the direction of Hogwarts Legacy 2 before the news of Netflix’s involvement. Now, with Netflix merging with the franchise, those worries have only increased. It’s a genuinely anxious time for fans of the series.

Players of Hogwarts Legacy are closely watching how the merger between Netflix and Warner Bros. develops. It’s possible that a sequel, Hogwarts Legacy 2, won’t be impacted at all, and fans are hoping for the best for the series moving forward.
