Highlights
Avalanche Software is preparing for the creation of a new AAA game, potentially a follow-up to Hogwarts Legacy or another installment within the Harry Potter universe.In the job listings, candidates are required to have previous experience with Unreal Engine 4, the same engine employed in the development of Hogwarts Legacy.
The success of Hogwarts Legacy suggests the possibility of a sequel. Job listings from Avalanche Software imply that the company is preparing for the development of a new AAA title, indicating that the team may be focusing on creating another game within the Harry Potter universe.
Founded in 1995, Avalanche Software has a rich history of game development, with over a dozen titles to their name. Their focus has primarily been on adapting non-gaming franchises and creating movie tie-ins. Notable games include Disney Infinity, Toy Story 3, and Cars 3: Driven to Win. However, their latest project, Hogwarts Legacy, stands as their biggest success yet and the largest undertaking by the company.
Recently, two job postings have emerged online for Avalanche Software. One is for the position of Associate Software Engineer, while the other seeks a Senior Character Technical Artist. These listings have caught attention for two reasons. Firstly, they imply that the hired individuals will not be working on the current version of Hogwarts Legacy, as the description states that they will be involved in "creating what's next" after the blockbuster open world game. Secondly, both job requirements specifically mention experience with Unreal Engine 4, the same engine used for Hogwarts Legacy. With the availability of Unreal Engine 5 since 2022, one would expect a switch to the newer version if the company were developing a completely new series that would not involve any elements from their previous title.
