If the recent announcement of a Harry Potter reboot wasn’t enough to spark some excitement for the Wizarding World, the news of a new multiplayer Quidditch game ought to do it.
WB Games has announced Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions. The upcoming game is described as “a complete, standalone Quidditch experience” that “engages players in the sport of Quidditch and other broomstick adventures alongside friends in a competitive, multiplayer setting.” Quidditch Champions is set to be released on PC and consoles and is said to have been in the works for multiple years at Unbroken Studios.
When Hogwarts Legacy was released earlier this year, Quidditch was noticeably absent from the game. It seems Quidditch was purposely left out of the Harry Potter RPG as WB Games had a stand-alone Quidditch game already in the works.
“Fans have long requested a Quidditch game, and we have been working with Unbroken Studios for several years to create gameplay worthy of their expectations,” said WB Games president David Haddad of this new title in an accompanying press release. “Now we are reaching out to the fans and inviting players into Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions to help us with this phase of building the experience.”
While the official release date for Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions hasn’t been announced, some gamers will be able to play the game this week. WB Games will be holding limited playtest sessions for Quidditch Champions on April 21st and 22nd. Those who want to sign-up to potentially be part of this beta for the game can now head over to the official WB Games website to try to be included.
