The wizarding world is set to invade our consoles once again! Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, developed by Unbroken Studios and published by Warner Bros. Games under the Portkey Games label, promises crazy matches, if you can't get them in Hogwarts Legacy: The Hogwarts Legacy. The game is due to be released on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Serie and Nintendo Switch on September 3, 2024, as announced at Summer Game Fest. Fans of the saga will have plenty to look forward to, as this game promises to satisfy their thirst for Quidditch, the emblematic sport of the wizarding world.
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions stands out (at least from what we've seen so far) for its Quidditch-centric gameplay in competitive multiplayer mode. Players will be able to create and customize their champion, and engage in solo games, teaming up with friends or joining online players. The game's handling is still a big mystery, but we can expect an immersive and dynamic experience that will plunge fans into the heart of Quidditch matches, all requiring a permanent Internet connection. A game that will hopefully remind us of the excellent Harry Potter Quidditch World Cup, released on PC, Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube and Game Boy Advance in 2003.
The announcement was also an opportunity for Warner Bros. Games to reveal a playtest phase, which took place on April 21 and 22. Interested fans were invited to register on the game's official website to take part in these tests. As far as the business model for Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is concerned, information is still sketchy. It could be free-to-play, with in-game purchases to customize champions, or a premium game available for purchase.
The gameplay for this game has begun to leak, as our colleagues at JV. com explain in a tweet. We learn that games will be played in a five-player versus five-player format and will last eight minutes, with players able to take on the role of catcher, chaser, beater or goalkeeper. A goal would earn 10 points, while capturing the golden snapper would earn 30. Skins would also be provided, in the image of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley or Cho Chang. Broomsticks and wands will also be further customized.
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions promises to be a promising game for fans of the saga, offering a competitive multiplayer experience dedicated to Quidditch. It's sure to delight fans of the wizarding world!
