Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is an upcoming sports video game developed by Unbroken Studios and published by Warner Bros. Games under its Portkey Games label. The game focuses on the Harry Potter-related sport Quidditch. The player controls a character that holds a specific position in Quidditch and engages in broomstick adventures and competitive multiplayer modes.

Development commenced several years prior to its announcement in April 2023, where Warner Bros. Games released a first look alongside a limited playtest. The game is scheduled for release on September 3, 2024, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, with it being available from Day One on PlayStation Plus. The Nintendo Switch version will be released later on Holiday season, with a date yet to be confirmed.

Gameplay

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a multiplayer sports game that focuses on competition.[1][2] The game revolves around Quidditch, a popular sport in the Harry Potter universe.[3][4] Players can customize their character and select from four different positions: Chaser, Seeker, Beater, and Keeper.[5][6] The game offers an immersive Quidditch experience that includes a variety of broomstick adventures and competitive multiplayer modes which allow players to participate in the sport with their friends.[1][7]

Development

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is developed by Los Angeles-based Unbroken Studios[8] and published by Warner Bros. Games under its Portkey Games label.[1][9] Development of the game began several years prior to 2023.[10][11] Its creation was announced 20 years after the previous Quidditch-themed game Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup.[12] The game's visual style is distinct from other Harry Potter games such as Hogwarts Legacy, as it endeavors to have a more stylized and cartoon-like appearance.[13] Despite being set in the Wizarding World universe, the game is not a direct adaptation of the books or films. The Portkey game developers strive to maintain the authenticity of J. K. Rowling's original vision while also introducing elements that allow fans to explore the world of magic in new ways.[1] Rowling has no direct involvement in the game's development.[14][15]

In May 2023, gameplay footage surfaced on Reddit and similar websites. Warner Bros. swiftly took action and removed any leaked content of a recent playtest.[16] In August 2023, additional footage leaked, in which players take on the roles of well-known characters such as Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.[17] A gameplay trailer was released on July 29th, 2024.[18]

Release

In April 2023, Warner Bros. Games unveiled the first look of Quidditch Champions along with the announcement of a limited playtest for the game.[19][20] GamesRadar+ noted that some fans expressed criticism towards the announcement, citing the absence of Quidditch in the recently launched Hogwarts Legacy.[21] Ali Jones of GamesRadar+ further observed that, based on the first gameplay trailer, the game may be employing outdated mechanics from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone which released over 20 years ago.[22] In June 2024, Unbroken announced that the game would release on Windows and home consoles in September.[23] The game will have an expansion pack titled 'The Legacy Pack', which will include exclusive content from Hogwarts Legacy.[24]
