I et interview med Variety afslører WB Games president David Haddad, at Hogwarts Legacy ved udgangen af 2023 havde solgt 22 millioner eksemplarer på tværs af alle platforme. Alene i december sidste år blev der solgt 2 millioner eksemplarer. Det spil har nok ligget under en del juletræer til jul.
David Haddad siger i interviewet:
It's not just the unit sold that I'm so proud of, it's just that it delighted the fans so much. It brought Harry Potter to life in a new way for gamers where they could be themselves in this world, in this story. And that's what the team at Avalanche set out to do when they were developing the game and I think that's really why it resonated so well and remains the best-selling game of the year in the entire industry worldwide. That's a position that typically is held by one of these incumbent's sequel games and we're so proud that we've been able to break into the top ranks.
Af lidt sjove in-game stats kan man se, at der samlet er spillet over 700 millioner timer, at der er blevet brygget over 819 millioner potions og at der er blevet høstet mere end 1,3 milliarder magiske planter.
WB Games har planer om flere spil i Harry Potter universet, blandt andet Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, som blev annonceret tilbage i april sidste, samt "a series of other things" som endnu ikke annonceret, som "will let the fans be part of this world and stories and characters in deeper and deeper ways" siger David Haddad.
Set i lyset af den store succes som Hogwarts Legacy har haft, kan vi vist godt regne med en efterfølger indenfor overskuelig fremtid. Hogwarts Legacy er ude nu på PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch og PC.
