The magical world of Harry Potter continues to grow. With Harry Potter Quidditch Champions, a new magical leg of the franchise is taking flight as Warner Bros. Games announces a release date for the new digital quidditch sports video game. Announced at Summer Game Fest 2022024, the upcoming Harry Potter Quidditch Champions will be released on 3 September across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and Google Stadia. The announcement at Summer Game Fest 2022024 is a pivotal moment for Warner Bros. Games as it attempts to find its space in the Harry Potter fandom all over again. Warner Bros. has managed to win digital hearts with the upcoming release of Hogwarts Legacy.
At the centre of this announcement is a core gameplay experience that invites fans to immerse themselves in the fast-paced aerial gameplay of Quidditch. Release is set for PlayStation and Xbox consoles, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and the Epic Games Store – and day-one availability on PlayStation Plus – Harry Potter Quidditch Champions promises to be a cross-platform hit.
Of the platforms, Nintendo Switch stands as the one whose abilities – in portability, motion controls and multiplayer-centricity – could truly bring new creative flourishes to the experience of playing the wizarding addled aerial sport. Even with the uneasy water that is the Frogg hopping gibbet, it’s fitting to see the game on the Switch as a console that, in its time on the market, has only swelled its community to one more diverse and overtly accommodating to new players than consoles of yore. The launching on Nintendo speaks to the accessibility and mass-appeal of Harry Potter Quidditch Champions.
Warner Bros Games is no stranger to building games around hit franchises and its experience is evident despite recent failures with the poorly received Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (2023). The wild success of Hogwarts Legacy is still fresh in people’s minds. So it seems like a no-brainer that Warner would reach for more unfettered Harry Potter-related success with Harry Potter Quidditch Champions.
Aside from the fact that it’s a Harry Potter mobile game, nothing is known about Harry Potter Quidditch Champions’ gameplay mechanics, team customisation possibilities or online multiplayer modes – everything about the title remains a secret. After enjoying the undiluted spectacle of the Harry Potter franchise over the past 20 years, it is a dream come true to finally be given the chance to play a Quidditch player and fly on a broomstick in an immersive, elaborate and exciting Quidditch match. Fans of the story and game universe can no longer imagine the possibilities the series offers in terms of a fully immersive, content-rich, complex and record-setting world that will truly capture the wildness and delight of the Harry Potter magic.
As Nintendo demonstrates with Harry Potter Quidditch Champions, the Switch proves yet again its flexibility in showcasing unique applications, and building on a fanbase of varied ages. As gaming continues to evolve at an accelerating rate, the need to make gaming accessible, immersive and fun remains paramount, as Nintendo’s continued work with titles such as Harry Potter Quidditch Champions clearly shows.
The date burns in gaming circles and Harry Potter fans alike. Warner Bros Games has set the stage for a gritty, groundbreaking addition to the venerable Harry Potter videogame legacy. Harry Potter Quidditch Champions will deliver Quidditch to fans the way the far-flung game has never been served before. Cave-like on Nintendo Switch or sprawled out on PlayStation and Xbox, the game is destined to make waves with its fantasy sports gaming.
From creating much-loved characters like Mario and Zelda, to creating the world’s first home video console, video games have always been part of Nintendo’s legacy. Throughout the years, Nintendo has created many beloved franchises and brought out several innovative consoles. From its firstFamily Computer (Famicom) console in 1983, to its current hybrid Wii/3DS handheld machine – the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo has been creating enchanting, family-friendly entertainment that can be passed from one generation to the next. The company has some of the most iconic and timeless video games ever made – everything from an iconic plumber to the world’s most successful handheld game series, Pokémon. Thanks to Nintendo’s consistent emphasis on joy, innovation and play, the company will continue to entertain children of all ages for years to come.
