Harry Potter is going through a bit of a resurgence as an IP right now, with the HBO adaptation on the immediate horizon, alongside the excellent return of the franchise to the world of video games in . The latter serves as one of the most successful games of the current generation and the third most played single-player title from the entirety of the PlayStation 5 roster.

Whilst we have already had the extremely unsurprising confirmation that a sequel for Hogwarts Legacy is coming via Avalanche Studios and Portkey Games, we haven't really heard whether it's actively being developed, and how far along the project is in the process. Now, a secondary listing has given us confirmation that development has really begun in earnest, in what is the first public appearance for the title since its confirmation.

As by Instant Gaming News, an artist was discovered via their LinkedIn profile, within which they list as one of the games they have previously worked on. Though that doesn't let us know exactly how far along the game is, it is nice to know that artists have begun to do what they do, even if it is just the concept stage.

Equally, the same online CV included further info that the artist had also spent some time working on . The last game in DC's flagship fighting series came out almost a decade ago, and rumors have been swirling around a potential threequel for a while now, with this seemingly acting as confirmation that it's in the works at this juncture.

Both games are under the Warner Bros. slate, and even more intriguingly, the artist lists two further unannounced projects that they worked on while employed at the company. There have previously been claims that the company has an original IP in the works, so one of those games could refer to that, while the other could easily be another title, though again there isn't too much evidence around to back that up right now.

Whenever the Hogwarts Legacy sequel does get officially revealed and released to players, it will almost certainly serve as a proverbial license to print money. The Harry Potter franchise remains one of the most bankable IPs on the planet, so it's little wonder there are so many new projects coming out around the world laid out in the original books and subsequent film adaptations, which can only be considered a win for fans.
