Warner Bros. Discovery has posted a vacancy for a lead narrative designer for Avalanche Software, a studio working on a sequel to the successful fantasy game. The job description states that the specialist will be working with famous characters from the Harry Potter franchise, which may indicate that the time period of the game’s action is closer to the events of the original saga.

According to the requirements, the specialist will be engaged in creating memorable characters with unique backstories and motivations, as well as integrating favorite characters from the existing canon into the game. This involves close cooperation with artists and designers to accurately embody familiar images in the game world.

The official confirmation of the development of the sequel took place in September 2024.

It is known that the plot of the game will be connected with the upcoming series in the Harry Potter universe, which may explain the appearance of famous characters in the new part. Fans of the franchise have speculated that the action could be moved from the late 19th century to a later period, perhaps showing the younger Hogwarts professors familiar from the books and films.
