Hogwarts Legacy proved with its first game that a Wizarding World adventure doesn’t need multiplayer to become a global phenomenon. Still, something interesting is quietly happening behind the curtains. A new developer job listing suggests the studio isn’t just thinking about storytelling anymore, it’s actively preparing systems built around online infrastructure.
Buried in the listing are some eyebrow-raising requirements:
- Persistent player data
- Server-based systems
- Matchmaking
- Lobby features
- Real-time online session handling
These aren’t the kinds of tools you build for a purely single-player RPG; they’re the backbone of social interaction, multiplayer experiences, and long-term live features. Naturally, that spotlight swings directly toward the highly anticipated Hogwarts Legacy sequel.
Nothing is officially confirmed and there’s still room for interpretation. The role could theoretically belong to a different project, or it could mean Avalanche is preparing the Wizarding World for a much more connected future. But the timing, the wording, and the scale of the tech being requested make it hard to ignore the possibility that the next Hogwarts adventure may not be a lonely one.
So the question fans are circling around is that will the sequel just be a bigger, richer single-player journey or are we actually heading toward a social, online Wizarding World where players share the experience together?
Until the studio speaks, this listing stands as the biggest clue yet. If it becomes reality, Hogwarts Legacy 2 wouldn’t just be a continuation, it could mark one of the franchise’s biggest leaps forward.
Would you welcome a connected, multiplayer Wizarding World or do you think Hogwarts Legacy should stay a purely single-player experience? Share your thoughts, and stay tuned to VGNW and follow us on X for more updates as this story develops.
