Warner Bros. is shifting its gaming focus to live service, free-to-play, and mobile games, potentially impacting future single-player titles like Hogwarts Legacy's sequel.
 The record-breaking success of Hogwarts Legacy is not deterring Warner Bros. from moving away from single-player console games.
 It's possible there may be live-service elements in Hogwarts Legacy 2 as Warner Bros. tries to replicate the first game's success. The last year has seen legendary highs and lows for the Warner Bros. gaming division. This February saw the release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which did not meet critical or commercial expectations, with many criticizing its lackluster progression system, questionable combat framework, and ill-fitting live service implementation. On the other side of the spectrum, Hogwarts Legacy's February 2023 launch, as well as its follow-up release on last-gen consoles later in the year, proved to be a massive success for the company, with the game ultimately outselling every other 2023 release.
