Warner Bros. keeps flying on the broom of the craze around Harry Potter by announcing a multiplayer game centered on Quidditch.
The famous sport of wizards was indeed not present on the commercial box Hogwarts Legacyto the dismay of the fans, and we now understand a little better why.
The snitch is unleashed!
For years, fans have been clamoring for a game about Quidditch, the spectacular and fast-paced sport of the universe. Harry Potter. The last attempt dates back to 2003, under the name The Quidditch World Cup.
After dashed hopes Hogwarts Legacy, Warner Bros. suddenly announces, like a snitch, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions. Where the 2003 game was best playable in co-op, this new version will focus on multiplayer.
The title is developed by Unbroken Studios and will land on PC as well as consoles yet to be announced. We can in any case estimate without too much risk of taking a bludger in the face that Quidditch Champions will also target the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. A release on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch is certainly not to be excluded either. No release date has yet been announced.
To your brooms!
If we haven’t seen much of it so far, Warner Bros. and Unbroken Studios promise us a “ full and nervous Quidditch experience “. David Haddad, chairman of Warner Bros. Games, had this to say on the subject:
” Fans have been asking for a game dedicated to Quidditch for a while, and we’ve worked with Unbroken Studios for years to create a gaming experience that lives up to their expectations. Now we invite them into Quidditch Champions to help us with this task. “It is indeed possible to register to participate in the test phases scheduled for April 21 and 22 on the official site of the game, cited in source below.
Currently, Warner Bros. floats on a small broom with the license Harry Potter. As for video games, Hogwarts Legacy would have sold 256% better than the firm’s predictions (not counting the PS4, Xbox One and later Nintendo Switch versions to come). On the small screen side, an adaptation of the game in series would be in the cards while (HBO) Max plans the first series around the adventures of the young and famous wizard.
