Hogwarts Legacy was considered to be pretty extensive when it came to doing whatever you can in the Wizarding World, but a lot of fans were disappointed to know that they couldn’t really play ‘Quidditch’ in the game—the WW’s magical equivalent to foot ball.
The last Quidditch-focused game fans got was Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup back in 2003, and now there’s been a big reveal for Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions. Check this out:
We don’t have an extensive look at the gameplay, but it does look like some elements are being shows in the cinematic, from the top-down view to the shot in the end with the chaser approaching a goal.
It also looks like the game will allows players to participate in school-level matches of Quidditch as well as the World Cup—seeing that Quidditch star Viktor Krum can also be seen in the trailer.
Seeing that there’s no regular sport that represents Quidditch, I imagine the gameplay is going to be split among the different positions in a Quidditch team i.e., Chaser, Keeper, Beater, and Seeker. It’s admittedly going to be a daunting task when it comes to game design, but it would be fantastic if Unbroken Studios manages to pull off a well-balanced game that could have multiplayer/competition potential.
Let’s just hope the figure out how to fix that unbalanced point system with the Golden Snitch.
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions launches for PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC on Sept. 3.
