- Petition against live service elements in Hogwarts Legacy 2.
- Nearly 10,000 signatures demand a sequel true to the original.
- Fans worry online features could ruin the single-player magic.
A growing petition is urging Warner Bros. (WB) to preserve what made Hogwarts Legacy magical by keeping its sequel free from live service elements.
Why Fans Are Opposing the Change?
The original game launched in February 2023, became a massively successful and best-selling game, leaving behind even other highly popular instalments like Call of Duty.
Its single-player, story-driven approach turned out to be an ultimate magic spell that made fans adore it instantly, allowing them to immerse themselves in the Wizarding World without online distractions.
However, recent hints of a live service feature in Hogwarts Leagcy 2 have concerned players and out of frustration they have started a petition, bringing Warner Bros attention to their request— let the sequel remain as original one as these live service features can change how a game feels, ruining the game’s true essence.
The petition, launched on Change.org, has already gathered nearly 10,000 signatures. It reflects the serious sentiments of players who do not like the idea of forced grind.
Balance Innovation and Fan Expectations
Fans fear that adding online elements, such as multiplayer modes or progression systems, could diminish the experience they enjoyed in the original one. Speaking of Hogwarts legacy—it’s like a dream coming true for potter heads.
Especially for those who grew up watching Harry Potter, craved to get into the Wizards and Witches, get in one of their favourite houses— Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.
It allows them to step into the shoes of a Hogwarts student, attend classes, explore the magical school, play Quidditch, and visit iconic locations like Hogsmeade and more.
Now players are excited about the sequel but the tension has equally increased, considering developers’ plans. Despite all these raised voices, no official statement has been released.
Moreover, these petitions often fail to bring change or stop these huge corporations from implementing their plans, still, there is hope that Warner Bros will look into this distressing situation.
Even if the company wants to add such aspects then it must create a midway, ensuring that the players are satisfied, as they are the biggest force behind any game’s prosperity.
