Hogwarts Legacy 2 how to keep Hogwarts Castle fresh?
Posted On: August 11, 2023

Just finished Hogwarts Legacy and loved it. As we're a 5th-year, it makes sense that a trilogy of games could be planned with us being 6th and 7th-year students.


For HL 2, how do you think they'll keep Hogwarts Castle and surrounding areas fresh - a lot of fan-service content has been used already, is there enough for a trilogy of games? Hogwarts Castle is a major nostalgia draw for a lot of players (me included). If another Wizarding School is used, it may not feel as great as a Hogwarts-focussed game (though certain quests/arcs abroad would be fun)?


They've still not used the Chamber of Secrets, Whomping Willow/Shrieking Shack, Mirror of Erised area/place Fluffy is guarding in Philosopher's Stone. Though, are these enough to keep the castle fresh? What direction do you think they'll take it? I'm hoping the Castle will feel even more alive in the next game. They can change as much as they want to regions outside of Hogwarts I'm sure, but I'm worried for the Castle aha - if it may get stale/feel boring. I've heard interesting ideas about using London, Diagon Alley, Ministry of Magic, Gaunt/Black Family House, Godric's Hollow but these are all outside the castle (could be individual quests like Azkaban was).


Looking at other sequels using the same location - Tears of the Kingdom created a whole new sky region, Spiderman 2 is getting Brooklyn and Queens (although Manhattan is in a similar position to Hogwarts Castle, and there wasn't much to keep it fresh in Miles Morales, though that game felt more like a DLC).


If HL 2 is us playing the next school year, how could they rationalize any said changes in such a short space of time in-game? If HL 2 isn't the next school year, then anything is up for grabs tbh but it feels too coincidental to start as a 5th year with exactly 2 more years left (perfect for a trilogy). And they've already setup a lot of characters and lore with the first game.


I'm super excited for the sequel but just wondering what it could look like.


Question from user Pickle_Jar72 at HogwartsLegacyGaming at reddit.


Answer:

I would love for one of the years to be a tri-wizard tournament year. That is a way to keep the story fresh with a nostalgic throwback to Goblet of Fire. It was mentioned that they tried to bring it back many before so it’s not against cannon for 1891-1892 school year to have been one of those.
