New wizarding classes might be upon us
Avalanche Software
Back in 2023, Avalanche Studios (also behind Mad Max) let many live their magical dreams of entering the Harry Potter universe once again with Hogwarts Legacy. Players got to experience the magical school of witchcraft and wizardry in next-gen graphics.
Now, a new rumor suggests that Hogwarts Legacy 2 may be closer to its first official reveal. But this is one of those leaks that seems more hopeful than real.
What does the rumor say?
Hogwarts Legacy 2 could appear during Sony’s next State of Play showcase. The post has been interpreted as a tease for a reveal rather than a release date, which is an important distinction. There is currently no official launch window for the sequel, and Warner Bros. Games has not announced a trailer, platform list, or any other important details. What’s interesting is also the timing. Sony just confirmed that its next State of Play will take place on June 2, with more than 60 minutes of updates, announcements, and gameplay reveals from studios around the world.
One of the highly anticipated reveals is expected to be Marvel’s Wolverine, which is also the only major title confirmed so far. This leaves a large room for a lot of unannounced big-budget games. While it’s great news for fans of the Harry Potter franchise and the original game, it’s worth noting that there are barely any details to go on right now. So the leak might be more noise than substance. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t hope for a Hogwarts Legacy 2.
Why Warner Bros. already have a reason to bring it back
A Hogwarts Legacy sequel would hardly be surprising. Warner Bros. Discovery CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels previously said a successor to Hogwarts Legacy was one of the company’s biggest priorities “a couple of years down the road,” according to Variety’s 2024 report. Meaning, expecting the second entry to release later down the road isn’t too far-fetched.
Still, Hogwarts Legacy 2 is likely a part of Warner Bros.’ long-term gaming plans, but a June 2 reveal is not confirmed.

Sony isn’t making another PSP, but Zara just revived the handheld as a crossbody bag
Zara’s PSP-inspired crossbody bag is a $36 piece of gaming nostalgia done right.
The PlayStation Portable, or the PSP, was discontinued over a decade ago, but its cultural presence never fully faded. Most recently, the fast-fashion brand Zara gave it a second life in the most unexpected form: the company has dropped a crossbody bag modelled after the PSP 1000.
The Zara PSP Crossbody Bag is exactly as delightful and absurd as the name sounds. The shadow drop came without an announcements or media campaigns, but the retro gaming community has already taken notice of it.
Unreal Engine 6 is officially here, but I’m still holding my breath
Rocket League brings the hype, but gamers still want proof.
For years, Unreal Engine has been the backbone of modern AAA gaming. Now, Epic is already preparing the next chapter, and surprisingly, Rocket League is leading the charge. Honestly, that part is kind of amazing. After spending years trapped on Unreal Engine 3, Rocket League fans are finally getting a modern engine upgrade, which feels long overdue.
And yes, the teaser looked exciting. Cleaner visuals, a connected ecosystem, and a glimpse at what Epic clearly wants to position as the next era of Unreal. But while the hype train is already leaving the station, I think I’m gonna stay on the platform for a little longer. Because right now, UE6 feels more like a vision statement than an actual engine reveal.
Rocket League is finally getting the overhaul fans never stopped asking for
Rocket League’s future will be built on Unreal Engine 6
Rocket League is finally getting the engine upgrade fans have been talking about for years. During the Paris Major, Psyonix showed a short in-game teaser with upgraded graphics, improved lighting, and a clear mention of Unreal Engine 6.
Is Rocket League finally moving to a new engine?
