Hogwarts Legacy 2 is officially happening and could get multiplayer. Warner Bros. Discovery has confirmed that a second Hogwarts Legacy game is part of its upcoming lineup. At the same time, Avalanche Software, the studio behind the first game, is hiring people to work on a new online multiplayer RPG. The job listings mention things like matchmaking, online multiplayer, player data and activities that can be played by different numbers of players. Multiplayer has NOT been confirmed for Hogwarts Legacy 2, the online RPG could be a completely separate Wizarding World game.

Sam Hogg (@discoplomacy) discusses the likelihood of pacing the frontier: "Pacing the frontier, even between tech CEOs right now, doesn't necessarily have an agreed meaning. That is complicated even further when you take it to the Chinese system." "What we may well see agreement on, is an understanding that this technology could have negative consequences in certain areas." "The Americans have pushed for this through various means - setting up sort of track two discussions, a channel for dealing with risk as and when it rises, and maybe a shared framework around what those risks look like." "It's [regulation] unfortunately a double-edged sword because, on the one hand, if you're pro-regulation, it's like, 'Great, this is a frontier company saying this [to regulate].' But your suspicion is raised because it's a frontier company asking to be regulated." "And don't forget that within Westminster a large number of people still aren't AGI or AI pilled. There are a number of people who view the statements coming from Dario or Sam or Demis as being marketing hype."
