Just last year, Warner Bros, and Avalanche Studios surprised gamers and Harry Potter fans around the world with Hogwarts Legacy, as it wasn’t just a meaningless cash-grab, but an actual action-adventure game that was well worth playing, which players did as it amassed over 22 million copies sold and was the top-selling game of 2023.

It seems WB is dipping back into that Hogwarts well again, as a recent report has surfaced stating that Hogwarts Legacy: Director’s Cut is being worked on, and by none other than Rocksteady Studios, the development house behind the Batman Arkham franchise.

This report comes from the ever-reliable Jason Schreier who wrote an in-depth feature on what went wrong with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. According to Schreier, many of Rocksteady’s studio members are now working on Hogwarts Legacy: Director’s Cut. At the same time, the report also states that studio leaders at Rocksteady are also looking to pitch a new single-player game.

With Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League failing as hard as it did, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear the studio changing course already. For those unaware, former Rocksteady Studios bosses Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker departed the studio back in 2022 with Nathan Burlow and Darius Sadeghian taking over leadership duties.

As for Hogwarts Legacy, Avalanche just released the game’s big Summer Update that adds photo mode and other improvements to the game. That said, the title updates for the game have been few and far between, and there doesn’t seem to be any plans to add DLC or any new gameplay elements into it. This Director’s Cut could be WB’s latest attempt to squeeze more revenue from the game, as there’s no way to shoehorn microtransactions into the title given it doesn’t feature multiplayer and doesn’t really fit the live service model.

Same as with any insider info, take this with a grain of salt. That said, Schreier is almost-always correct with these things. Hopefully, Rocksteady can bounce back from Suicide Squad’s failure, but we’re hoping it won’t take the studio that long to release their next game — whatever it might be.
