For as fun as Hogwarts Legacy was, there was one major feature of the wizarding world that was noticeably absent from the game. Despite featuring the ability to fly on broomsticks, and even soar through a Quidditch arena, you couldn’t actually play this magical game. That’s where Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, a new game, comes in. Very little has been shared about the game since its announcement; however, there are a few details worth going over before mounting up and trying to catch that elusive Golden Snitch. Here’s everything we know about Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions.
Release date
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions will launch on September 3, 2024.
Platforms
You can look forward to playing Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions on just about every possible platform. It is coming to PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. It will also be available on PS Plus on day one.
Trailers
The official reveal trailer only shows CGI footage of new and returning characters from the Harry Potter franchise engaging in the fictional sport. We do see a variety of fields that suggest multiple locations to play, but not much else can be gleaned from this footage.
You will be able to play as characters pulled straight from the books, including Harry, Malfoy, Ron, and more, alongside a robust character creator.
Gameplay
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions will be primarily a competitive multiplayer experience that follows the rules of the game as they were written in the books, although there is also a single-player Career Mode. This mode will let you play matches across a variety of arenas to try to win the cup.
Gameplay will have you flying in a third-person view while attempting to score points by throwing the ball through one of three rings. Seekers, on the other hand, will need to chase down the Snitch as it leaves golden rings across the field.
