Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy was a huge hit. With more than 20 million sales in one year, it has managed to dethrone well-established licenses like Zelda or Call of Duty. This is an exemplary feat for a title like this. Now fans are eagerly awaiting the sequel, but there is a catch. Recently the game publisher spoke out on a thorny subject, causing panic within the community. And it may be that the second opus will not be spared from the decision that was taken. As a result, the players responded in an unexpected way.

A petition for Hogwarts Legacy 2 is launched

Remember, last week, the CEO of Warner Bros. Games spoke about the future of its video game catalog. He did not hesitate to shout loudly that he wanted to increase the production of free to play games and service games/mobile games, judging the development of AAA as being too unstable. So obviously, this statement was not to everyone's taste. It has worried more than one, especially those who can't wait to get their hands on Hogwarts Legacy 2. Is it going to meet such a fate? For the moment, it is difficult to say.

In any case, fans wanted to express their dissatisfaction. They don't want the sequel to be ruined. So, they opened a petition on the site Change.org. Yes yes, you read correctly. The idea behind this is to prevent Hogwarts Legacy 2 from becoming a service game. Currently, it has amassed 1,806 signatures, with the next desired goal being 2,500. Well, all of that is laudable, but we suspect that it will have no impact on the choice of the American giant. It's unfortunate, but the best thing to do is to pray.

Afterwards, we don't know if Hogwarts Legacy 2 will indeed become a service game. He could absolutely be spared, but obviously, that’s not in the plans of the Warner boss. “ Wouldn't it be fun to have a game like Hogwarts Legacy as a service, where people can come and live, work and play on a regular basis ? “, he explained in particular. Suffice it to say that you should not place your hopes too high. We're waiting to see what form it will take if it turns out. For now, the future does not look bright.

Any big changes for the future?

To end on a more positive note, Hogwarts Legacy 2 promises to give us a big slap in the face. In itself, that was already the case with his eldest, but now, that's going to be another story. For good reason, it will probably use Unreal Engine 5, instead of UE4. If we know this, it's thanks to a job offer spotted for the position of Senior Character Artist. It requires the person to have diverse and varied skills, including experience with engines like Unreal Engine 5.

In truth, it wouldn't be a big surprise, since it's gradually becoming a standard in big productions. In addition, Jose Villeta, who works at Warner as software director, has never hidden his desire to use this engine. “We look forward to Unreal Engine 5 for our future projects, knowing that we already have a great foundation in place”he declared in a interview. All that remains is to wait and see what the future has in store for us.
