“Obviously, a successor to Hogwarts Legacy is one of the biggest priorities in a couple of years down the road,” Warner Brothers Discover CFO Gunnar Widenfels said during Bank of America’s recent Media, Communications, and Entertainment Conference.

Of course, this announcement doesn’t come with any proper details about what to expect from the game - but it’s worth noting that Warner Bros. executives have a habit of announcing new games way before the teams making them are ready to talk. Remember that timeCEO David Zaslav announced Mortal Kombat 12 during a financial call?
