Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions Announced

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions

A brand-new Harry Potter game is in the works, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions. This one appears more niche and likely not nearly as large-scale as Hogwarts Legacy was.

Developed by Unbroken Studios, which is currently also co-developing Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and published by Portkey Games, much like Hogwarts Legacy, not a lot is known about this game. It’s not even confirmed that it will come to PlayStation consoles, but we know it is coming to consoles, and we can’t really expect the developer to decide not to release it on the PS5 at the very least.

This will possibly remedy the lack of Quidditch content in Hogwarts Legacy. Currently, you’re only able to sign up for a chance to participate in playtests. It seems Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions will — obviously — be mostly hinging on multiplayer, but it’s possible it will have some form of single-player, if at least for training and practice.

We also can’t omit the fact this isn’t the first time the Wizarding World’s most well-known sport has made it into video games. In 2003, Electronic Arts made an entire game that was released to the PS2 surrounding the sport — Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup — where you got to not just play as any one of the four Houses in Hogwarts but also a handful of countries participating in the same sport for their chance at the World Cup.

Hogwarts Legacy Details To Be Revealed Next Year

Hogwarts Legacy

The RPG-inspired Hogwarts Legacy was slated to release this year, but of course, the pandemic wiped out many major game releases and following a delay early in the year — we’re talking January — nothing’s been spoken of this title. That is until now when the team behind the game, WB Games Avalanche suddenly tweeted something more than press fluff for its parent and sister studios and hiring posts. This new post tells fans to wait a little bit longer.

The studio has announced that at some point in next year, we’ll hear more about Hogwarts Legacy. It’s hard to say exactly what Avalanche has in store for fans first as there’s a lot they could do after such a long bout of radio silence. The obvious possibility is a release date, considering the title is now supposedly releasing sometime in 2022.
