A new game set in the Wizarding World is in development as WB Games and Unbroken Studios officially announced Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions.
At Summer Games Fest, a full premiere for the game was shown off, providing a fast-paced, albeit cinematic, trailer of the upcoming game. Alongside a trailer, we got confirmation that the game will be released on September 3 for PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and the Epic Games Store for $29.99. More interestingly, the press release notes that PlayStation Plus members will have access to the game “at no extra charge” from September 3 until September 30.
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions will allow players to play the magical sport found in both the Harry Potter films and books. Players can play Quidditch through solo play, in co-op online matches with friends, or compete in online play with other players. A press release for the game revealed that Quidditch Champions will allow players to choose which position they can play: Beater, Chaser, Keeper, or Seeker.
“The team is excited to unveil Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions and showcase our take of this magical sport,” Unbroken Studios CEO Paul Ohanian said in a press release. “We’ve worked hard to create a Quidditch game to play solo or with friends, that is an authentic representation of the fan-favorite sport.”
This is the most recent Harry Potter game dedicated entirely to Quidditch, following 2003’s Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup. In our review of Quidditch World Cup, which scored a 7.2 out of 10, IGN wrote: “Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup could have been given the true Madden treatment, but instead EA has made a fun, but slightly shallow take on the fictional sport.”
