Hogwarts has plenty of room for new students, and anytime there's a new Harry Potter game, a horde of young witches and wizards enroll in the famous school for witchcraft and wizardry. In 2023, the beloved castle opened its doors to take you back to the 1800s in Hogwarts Legacy, but can we expect a new Harry Potter game in 2025?
If you're not keen to get back to your studies, you might be more open to a new Pokémon game or a new Zelda game. However, if you want to know more about one of the best Harry Potter games out there, make sure you read our Hogwarts Legacy potions, Hogwarts Legacy beasts, and Hogwarts Legacy dark arts guides. There's a little magic in every article.
Is there a new Harry Potter game in 2025?
While there's no new Harry Potter game scheduled to release in 2025, Hogwarts Legacy is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. Plus, we know that there is a sequel in the works, so news on a new Harry Potter game will arrive in the next couple of years.
New Harry Potter game platforms
Without an official announcement for a new game, we can't say what platforms the next Harry Potter game will be on. However, we can make some speculations. Firstly, if it's a mobile game, it's likely to be for both iOS and Android.
As for the next triple-A Harry Potter game, we think that it's highly likely to be available on PC. And, as Hogwarts Legacy is Steam Deck verified, we predict that it will also be available on all the best portable gaming consoles like the Steam Deck and the ASUS Rog Ally.
Hogwarts Legacy is also available on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X. As such, we think it's likely that the next Harry Potter game will come to all current-gen consoles, including the Nintendo Switch 2.
New Harry Potter game gameplay predictions
It goes without saying that a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy is also going to be an open world RPG, but what else might we see from a future Harry Potter game? On mobile, there's a match-three puzzler called Harry Potter: Puzzles and Spells, a CCG called Harry Potter: Awakened, and an RPG called Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, so that's a broad range of genres already.
We also think now is as good a time as any for the Harry Potter IP to embrace some of its darker elements. There are some subtle undertones in previous games, but we've had enough of subtlety. It's time to create a Harry Potter game with a spooky twist.
There's plenty of horror potential in this world, and while there's never going to be a full-on Harry Potter horror game, we think there's scope for future entries to embrace the darker side of the franchise. After all, how cool would a gritty Harry Potter game like Elden Ring with big beast, spells, and big battles be? At the very least, we certainly hope to see a moral system should there be a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy – the fact that you can use the three unforgivable curses and not face any backlash is unbelievable.
New Harry Potter game release date
Hogwarts Legacy is arriving on Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, the same day as the Nintendo Switch 2 release date.
There you have it, everything we know about the possibility of a new Harry Potter game. If you want to experience a different kind of magic, our Disney games guide has some great suggestions.
