Although the successfulHogwarts Legacygame gave players and fans plenty of reasons to dive into the magical world ofHarry Potter, a key component of the universe was missing from its rightful place. Despite the wonder of magic and the alluring world it manages to build,the absence of Quidditchmeant that some series fans were never fully satisfied. Now though, WB Games and developer Unbroken Studios seem destined to right this wrong with the announcement ofHarry Potter: Quidditch Champions.
Described as a fast-paced, competitive multiplayer game featuring the world’s most iconic magical sport, this will be an entirely standalone experience focused entirely on Quidditch. Players will be given the freedom to create personalized characters to jump onto flying broomsticks, with Unbroken Studios having spent several years working on the game now. Of course, the fact that it will plug a pretty glaring gap that was inHogwarts Legacywill see plenty of attention, especially when there isan upcoming playtest forHarry Potter: Quidditch Championsto be a part of.
